In the midst of Cincinnati Reds utility man Spencer Steer’s trade talks, the 28-year-old suffered a long-term injury.
Ahead of the Reds’ series opener against the Cleveland Guardians, the team placed Steer on the 10-day injured list. The injury is listed as a right wrist sprain, MLB.com wrote.
More details have emerged. It’s been discovered that Steer was diagnosed with a partial tear of the tendon sheath. The injury required an injection and a splint on the injured wrist for the next two weeks, said CBS Sports.
Reds manager Terry Francona was able to speak on Steer’s injury on Monday. He said that after the two-week shutdown, it will be determined whether or not Steer will need season-ending surgery.
“He is just one of the best teammates you’ll ever find,” Francona added.
