Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Goes deep during win
Rotowire
Stephenson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Monday's win over the Marlins.
Stephenson provided key insurance with a solo homer in the eighth inning, extending Cincinnati's lead late. It was the catcher's second home run of the season and third RBI. After opening the year hitless in his first four games, the 29-year-old has begun to turn things around slightly with hits in three of his last four contests. Still, Stephenson is slashing just .167/.200/.417 through 25 plate appearances, making him a frustrating early-season option for fantasy managers.

Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Plays hero Friday
Rotowire
Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Friday's 5-3 win over the Rangers.
Stephenson broke a 3-3 tie in the ninth inning with a two-run shot off Chris Martin that proved to be the game-winning homer. After opening the season 0-for-9, the 29-year-old has recorded hits in back-to-back games. While he's sat out two of the Reds' first seven contests, Stephenson went deep 13 times in 342 regular-season plate appearances last season and has posted a double-digit homer total in four of five years, with the outlier coming during an injury-riddled 2022 campaign.

Rotowire
Stephenson went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's spring game against the Cubs.

The catcher appears to be coming around with hits in three of his last four games but is batting just .176 (6-for-34) this spring. Stephenson will be Cincinnati's starting catcher, but those occasional starts he used to get as a designated hitter may dry up in 2026. Eugenio Suarez is expected to serve as the everyday DH this season.

Reds' Tyler Stephenson: Clutch homer not enough Wednesday
Rotowire
Stephenson went 4-for-5 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 extra-innings loss to the Pirates.
The veteran catcher kept the Reds alive by launching a slider from Bucs closer Dennis Santana over the fence in left-center field in the ninth inning, tying the game at 2-2, but Cincy couldn't close the deal. Stephenson has been a big part of the team's surge into playoff contention since coming off the IL in early September, and over his last 13 games he's slashing .275/.341/.650 with three doubles, four homers and 13 RBI. The Reds are tied with the Diamondbacks, one game back of the Mets for the final wild-card spot in the NL with four to play.
