Spencer Steer's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer went 1-for-3 with a walk and his 13th home run of the season on Saturday afternoon. His long ball in the ninth inning extended his home run streak to a remarkable three games. Since June 22, Steer has been swinging a hot bat with a .286/.375/.612 line and four home runs, 13 RBI, and a 5:14 BB:K ratio. In 87 games this season, the Oregon product sits with a .243/.336/.435 line. He does boast an above-average 10.6% walk rate which does increase his value in points leagues. Steer remains a solid outfield option in all formats and should continue to tally a stable amount of counting stats on a strong Cincinnati offense.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer turned in a big game in his team's 9-6 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday. Steer went 1-for-4 at the plate with a homer, a walk, two runs, and three RBI in the victory. The veteran's three-run homer came in the first inning off LA starter James Paxton and traveled 390 feet with a 101.1 MPH exit velocity. Steer's batting average of .224 this season isn't great but he's contributing in the other categories with five homers, 24 runs, 34 RBI, and 11 steals across 172 at-bats. Despite the low average, Steer needs to stay in fantasy lineups for his steals and run production alone.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer (ankle) is back in the starting lineup on Wednesday against the visiting San Diego Padres and right-hander Michael King, playing first base and batting sixth in the order. A sore ankle kept Steer out for the last two games, but he'll return for fantasy managers on Wednesday in the second game of the series. The 26-year-old right-handed hitter will be hoping to get on track at the plate after last appearing on Sunday as a pinch-hitter against the Los Angeles Dodgers. With Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) currently on the injured list, Steer is likely going to continue seeing most of his playing time at first base. Steer is batting .224 (36-for-161) with four homers, 31 RBI and 11 stolen bases in 161 at-bats on the year. He remains useful in all fantasy formats for his power/speed combination in a dangerous Reds lineup.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer (ankle) is sitting out of the starting lineup again on Tuesday against the visiting San Diego Padres. Steer didn't play on Sunday and remains sidelined despite the Reds having a scheduled day off on Monday. The 26-year-old was able to make a pinch-hitting appearance on Sunday, though, and says he's available off the bench once again on Tuesday. It means that Steer is unlikely to land on the injured list, and fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day for now. In his absence on Tuesday, rookie Jacob Hurtubise is starting in left field and batting leadoff against Padres right-hander Joe Musgrove, who is making his first start off the injured list. Hurtubise has DFS sleeper upside in the leadoff spot and has gone 2-for-8 with a walk and a strikeout in his first six big-league games this year.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Spencer Steer (ankle) was limited to a pinch-hitting appearance in Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers and drew a walk in the seventh inning before being lifted for a pinch-runner. After the game, manager David Bell revealed that Steer has been dealing with a sore ankle. "He was available for an at-bat. He should be back fully 100 percent on Tuesday," Bell said. It sounds as though Steer will be back in the starting lineup for Tuesday's series opener against the visiting San Diego Padres, but fantasy managers will want to check back to make sure before returning him to starting lineups. The 26-year-old hasn't homered since May 1 and is batting just .167 (9-for-54) with 10 RBI in 16 games in the month of May to drop his season slash line to .224/.337/.373. Steer isn't swinging it well right now, but his combination of power and speed makes him attractive in all fantasy leagues.
