MLB Trade Rumors • • sports
Key Points:
- Spencer Steer was placed on the 10-day injured list with a right wrist sprain, diagnosed as a partial tear of a sheath in his wrist; he will wear a splint for two weeks with hopes to avoid surgery and will likely require rehab afterward.
- Steer left the Reds' game early on July 26 due to right wrist pain after an awkward swing, raising concerns about his availability and potential impact on the Reds' playoff hopes and trade value.
- The Reds, currently last in the NL Central and expected to be sellers at the trade deadline, could lose a valuable trade asset in Steer, who has strong arbitration control and versatility, attracting interest from teams like the Mariners.
- Outfielder Blake Dunn is also dealing with injury issues, seeking a second opinion on potential elbow surgery that could sideline him for the rest of the 2026 season, complicating the Reds' roster situation further.
