Tyler Stephenson Could Begin Rehab Assignment Soon
2 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (hand) could begin a rehab assignment in 7-10 days, according to manager David Bell. Stephenson has been out for two weeks with a fractured hand, and the initial timeline for his return was set at 4-6 weeks. If he does start his rehab in a week, he would be on track to return on the early side of that timeline. Stephenson has been one of the best catchers both in real life and in fantasy this year, with a .305/.361/.468 slash line to go along with five HR and 31 RBI over 141 AB. Stephenson's return cannot come quickly enough for fantasy managers, who has been one of the only reliable catchers this season.
