4 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson went 1-for-2 with a pinch-hit two-run homer in a 13-8 loss to the Colorado Rockies on Thursday. Stephenson was not originally in the lineup but he pinch-hit for Ryan Hendrix in the eighth inning and launched a two-run shot off of reliever Lucas Gilbreath. Stephenson is hitting .305 with two homers, nine runs, and eight RBI in 59 at-bats this season. His bat has shown promise at the big league level but he remains behind starter Tucker Barnhart for at-bats at the catcher spot. For now, Stephenson is only of interest in deep dynasty leagues.--Matt T - RotoBaller
