Price would not reveal plans that he helped determine with general manager Walt Jocketty. But Reds' No. 2 prospect Robert Stephenson is definitely under consideration to get his first big league callup from Triple-A Louisville.
"Walt and I have spoken about him," Price said. "He missed a little bit of time this year with that little bit of a funky wrist injury. It wasn't terribly significant but it did keep him from pitching. It's going to be important for him to build up his innings so he can be a consideration next year -- either if he competes for a spot on the team or comes up during the year and needs to pitch through September.
