Spencer Steer Still Recovering From Shoulder Soreness
30 seconds agoThe Cincinnati Enquirer's Gordon Wittenmyer reports that Cincinnati Reds infielder/outfielder Spencer Steer (shoulder) is still recovering from the shoulder soreness he dealt with late last year and will likely serve as the designated hitter when Cactus League games kick off in spring training. Steer will eventually work up to returning to the field. It's certainly something to watch for the 27-year-old, especially if it lingers throughout the spring and he struggles at the plate. To close out the regular season last September, he hit just .165/.268/.294 in the month of September, so his shoulder issue was clearly bothering him. Despite his rough finish in 2024, Steer hit 20 homers, stole 20 bases and had a team-high 92 RBI. Steer's batted-ball metrics have been underwhelming, but his hitter-friendly home park helps his cause. Target him as a No. 3 fantasy outfielder in 2025.
