Fantasy Impact:
Reds manager David Bell said earlier this winter the plan is for Stephenson to play 140-150 games in 2023. The 2015 first-round pick only appeared in 50 games in 2022 due to multiple injuries as it appears the club's plan is to keep him healthy with limited time at catcher this season. Stephenson's bad has been as advertised in his young big-league career as he's hit .296 with 18 home runs and an .823 OPS across the first 190 games of what looks like a promising career for the 26-year-old.
