It’s been exactly one month to the day since Tyler Stephenson landed on the injured list with a broken thumb, one that resulted from a foul ball smashing it whilst he was catching. At the time, the expectation was that he’d miss 4-6 weeks, meaning him returning today falls smack dab in the middle of that prognosis.
He’s back, folks, and the Reds finally appear to have most of what was supposed to be their revamped 2022 lineup active and healthy at the same time (aside from Joey Votto, who’s still sitting out with a sore back).
