Reds' Spencer Steer: Nursing partial tear in wrist
Rotowire
Steer will wear a splint for the next two weeks after being diagnosed with a partial tear of the tendon sheath in his right wrist, Charlie Goldsmith of Fox 19 Now Cincinnati reports.
Steer suffered the injury on a swing during Sunday's game in St. Louis and was placed on the injured list Monday. The hope is that he can avoid surgery and the injury heals with rest, but it's no guarantee that will happen. A timeline for Steer's return likely won't be available until he's re-evaluated following the two-week shutdown period.

Reds' Spencer Steer: Set to miss 'significant time'
Rotowire
The Reds are expected to place Steer on the injured list Monday after he suffered a right wrist injury that is likely to cost him "significant time," Buster Olney of ESPN reports.
Steer was forced out of Sunday's 5-3 win over the Cardinals in the fifth inning, after he felt some discomfort when he fouled a pitch off the end of his bat. The Reds labeled his injury as right wrist pain and indicated that he would visit a specialist Monday for further imaging. While the team has yet to provide an official update on Steer's status, Olney's report suggests that an MRI revealed a major injury. With a .740 OPS over 98 games this season, the versatile Steer was expected to be a coveted right-handed bat ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, but his impending move to the IL will likely take any potential deal off the table.
