Fantasy Impact:
Reds manager Terry Francona initially downplayed the issue, but with Stephenson not recovering as quickly as expected, further evaluation was deemed necessary. The team expects to provide an update on his condition later Thursday or Friday. If the injury proves to be more serious, it could impact his availability for Opening Day.
