Tucker Barnhart is set to return from the paternity list soon, it could be tough for Stephenson to find at-bats. He is worth monitoring in deep-league and two-catcher formats.

Tyler Stephenson has been recalled by the Cincinnati Reds.

Fantasy Impact

Reds prospect catcher Tyler Stephenson went 2-for-4 Sunday for Daytona (A+) to continue a very hot start to the season.

Fantasy Impact

He leads the league in average, slugging %, and OPS. He is second in the league in OBP, hits, and XBH. He has had some injury issues since being drafted in the 1st round by the Reds in 2015, but many believe if he can stay healthy this year, he is a prime candidate to become one of this year's breakout prospects.
