The Reds have reinstated catcher Tyler Stephenson from the injured list after he missed the entire season due to an oblique strain from spring training, but outfielder Austin Hays has been placed on the 10-day IL with a hamstring strain. Stephenson, who has a solid batting record and experience at first base, will join backups Jose Trevino and Austin Wynns on the roster. Hays, already on his second IL stint this season, has excelled when healthy, joining Christian Encarnacion-Strand and Jeimer Candelario on the injured list, impacting the Reds’ lineup depth.
