Reds outfielder Spencer Steer hit a solo homer as part of a narrow 2-1 win over the Giants on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
Steer's third-inning solo homer was one of three solo shots that accounted for the entirety of the offense in Cincinnati on Tuesday. The long ball was Steer's third of the season, although his bat continues to leave plenty to be desired. Steer's .185/.224/.407 slash line correlates to a 66 wRC+ that sits 34% below the league average through 15 games on the season.
Spencer Steer went 2-for-4 in a win over the Rangers with a home run, a double, two runs scored and two RBI.
Fantasy Impact
Steer has offered modest production at the plate of late, driving in runs in two of his last three games for the Reds. Through six games, the 28-year-old is slashing .143 with one homer, three RBI, and two runs scored as one of many frustrating options in an underperforming Cincinnati lineup for manager Terry Francona to this point.
Spencer Steer is expected to open the season in a utility role after the Cincinnati Reds signed Eugenio Suarez on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Steer started 113 games at first base, 16 at designated hitter and four in left field in 2025. He is expected to move into a true utility role this season, with Eugenio Suarez and Sal Stewart handling first base and designated hitter duties and Ke’Bryan Hayes locked in at third base. Similar to 2024, Steer should see time all over the field after logging innings at left field, first base, second base, designated hitter, right field and shortstop. He finished the 2025 season with a .238/.312/.411 slash line.
The Reds agreed to terms with 1B Spencer Steer on a one-year, $4 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Despite his struggles at times, Steer is likely slated to maintain his starting role at first base for the Reds. He is coming off a year where he slashed .238/.312/.411 at the plate. If his struggles continue, his role could lessen.
Spencer Steer went 0-for-2 with two walks, one run scored, and one strikeout in the Reds’ 4-2 loss to the Pirates on Tuesday.
Fantasy Impact
