Tyler Stephenson took a foul ball to his right clavicle tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals and broke it. Broke the hell out of it. Sheared it clear in half. Snip, snip, snip, scissors couldn’t have lopped it more thoroughly.
After concussions and a broken thumb, it’s the last thing anyone in any Ty Steves camp wanted to see at this point. Given that the Cincinnati Reds traded away all the veterans they could over the winter so they could turn the team over to Tyler and Jonathan India, it’s been been a triple whammy of awfulness for the Reds and all those who follow them.
