[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1773223, member: 3916"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.stltoday.com/sports/columns/jeff-gordon/tipsheet-reeling-reds-will-face-cardinals-with-depleted-roster/article_79fa0fe5-2cc6-5122-be0f-4d15be5b55cd.html[/URL] [URL='https://www.stltoday.com/users/profile/Jeff%20Gordon']Jeff Gordon[/URL] The battered Cincinnati Reds stagger into town after losing five of their last seven games and suffering additional casualties. The latest setback: Cornerstone catcher Tyler Stephenson will miss four to six weeks after suffering a broken right thumb Thursday. This is still a another gut punch for the Reds. “It’s tough, losing any of our players,” Reds manager David Bell told reporters after the game. “Certainly Tyler Stephenson is just a big part of our team in so many ways. He’ll be back this season for hopefully half of the season and he’s got many years ahead. But at this time, right now, it’s tough. I know how much he loves to play. Definitely, we feel for him.” The Reds are full tank-and-rebuild mode – and Stephenson is one of the key pieces in that reconstruction. “Hopefully it's quick and doesn't take too long. But, yeah, that's a tough one,” Reds starting pitcher Tyler Mahle told [URL='http://mlb.com/']MLB.com[/URL]. “He means a lot. He's our No. 1 catcher. He's probably our best hitter. I mean, probably our All-Star. Don't know how many guys are going to be All-Stars. If he's not an All-Star, I don't know what it takes, but, yeah, it hurts.” Outfielder Albert Almora Jr. exited Thursday’s game with a shoulder injury and is sidelined day to day. The Reds were already missing infielders Jonathan India and Donovan Solano due to hamstring strains and outfielder Tyler Naquin due to quad strain. [/QUOTE]
