Steer went 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and a double in Sunday's 6-1 victory at Arizona.
The Cincinnati first baseman stretched his team's lead to 5-1 in the eighth with a 397-foot, three-run long ball off Diamondbacks reliever Juan Burgos. Steer entered this contest mired in a second-half slump, slashing an anemic .179/.279/.330 with six extra-base hits in 123 plate appearances over 31 games since the All-Star break. Through 478 total plate appearances, the 27-year-old has produced a .236/.302/.397 slash line with six steals, 62 RBI and 53 runs scored.

Reds' Spencer Steer: Beginning on bench Friday
Rotowire
Steer is not in the starting lineup against the Pirates on Friday.
Steer has been an everyday presence at first base for Cincinnati, but he'll get a rest Friday while Miguel Andujar starts in his stead. The Reds likely hope the time off will reset Steer's bat, as he's gone just 2-for-21 through six games in August.

Reds' Spencer Steer: Cranks 13th homer in multi-hit game
Rotowire
Steer went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Cubs.
Steer lifted his 13th homer of the year, and the four RBI matched his season-high output. The 27-year-old has a mediocre .697 OPS for the year, but he remains the Reds' top option at first base. Steer should also continue to see a boost in fantasy appeal at home -- he owns a .757 OPS at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Park as opposed to a .633 OPS on the road in 2025.

Rotowire
Steer went 2-for-3 with a triple, two RBI, a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over the Dodgers.
Steer tallied his second triple of the season and the ninth of his career. It's been an uneven campaign at the plate for Steer -- he has a .692 OPS in 2025 -- but he's at least fared a bit better since the beginning of June.

Reds' Spencer Steer: Getting rested Wednesday
Rotowire
Steer is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.
Steer has been nursing a sore quadriceps in recent days, but his absence from the lineup Wednesday appears to be more of a maintenance day with the Reds wrapping up their series in Washington with a day game after a night game. Santiago Espinal will step in at first base in place of Steer, who had started each of the Reds' previous 15 contests.

Reds' Spencer Steer: Cleared to start Wednesday
Rotowire
Reds manager Terry Francona said that Steer is dealing with some swelling in his hand, but the 27-year-old will start at first base and bat fifth Wednesday against the Red Sox.
The Reds and Red Sox are essentially playing a doubleheader Wednesday, after they resumed Tuesday's suspended game in the top of the fourth inning earlier in the day. Steer finished 1-for-2 with a two-run home run in the Reds' 5-3 loss, but he experienced swelling in his hand after being plunked by a pitch in the seventh inning. Though he'll have just a few hours to rest up between games, Steer is apparently feeling well enough to play the field and hit during the nightcap.

Reds' Spencer Steer: X-rays on hand negative
Rotowire
The Reds announced Wednesday that X-rays on Steer's right hand returned negative, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Steer suffered a right hand contusion when he was hit by a Brayan Bello pitch in the seventh inning Wednesday in the Reds' 5-3 loss to the Red Sox. That game was the continuation of a suspended contest from Tuesday, and the hand injury prompted the Reds to scratch Steer from the lineup ahead of their 8-4 win over Boston in the second game of the day. While manager Terry Francona noted that Steer campaigned to play in the second game, the 27-year-old was dealing with enough swelling in his hand for the Reds to err on the side of caution and hold him out. Steer will benefit from a team off day Thursday before potentially making his return to the lineup Friday in Philadelphia.
