Homers in three-hit effort Stephenson went 3-for-5 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over Atlanta.

Impact Stephenson took Edgar Santana deep in the ninth inning for his seventh homer of the year. He also picked up a double and a single en route to a season-best six total bases. It's been perhaps overshadowed by the breakouts of teammates Jesse Winker and Jonathan India, and the second-half resurgence of veteran Joey Votto, but the 24-year-old Stephenson has emerged as an important bat in the Reds lineup, slashing .287/.373/.429 with 35 RBI in 295 plate appearances.

Doubles in return Stephenson (hamstring) went 1-for-4 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 3-2 win over Pittsburgh.

Impact The catcher's scoring contributions came in the fourth inning when he drove in a run on a fielder's choice and scored on a Kyle Farmer double. Stephenson missed two games with the hamstring injury, but he should go back to splitting time with Tucker Barnhart behind the plate. Through 281 plate appearances, Stephenson has a .282/.370/.419 slash line, six home runs, 34 RBI, 44 runs scored and 15 doubles.

Returns to starting nine Stephenson (hamstring) will start at catcher and bat fifth Sunday against the Pirates.

Impact Just as manger David Bell said would be the case, the hamstring issue that forced Stephenson out of Thursday's 7-4 win in the series opener won't result in the young backstop landing on the injured list. He'll draw back into the lineup after sitting the past two days, spelling Tucker Barnhart behind the dish.

Won't require IL stint Manager David Bell announced Friday that Stephenson (hamstring) won't need to go on the injured list, Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Stephenson left Thursday's game with what was initially described as a hamstring cramp, and further evaluation confirmed that he didn't suffer any sort of more serious injury. Given Bell's update, Stephenson could have a chance of being available off the bench Friday, and the backstop should be ready to start behind the plate when next called upon.

Exits with hamstring cramp Stephenson left Thursday's game in the sixth inning with a hamstring cramp, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

Impact The exit was termed precautionary, which makes sense given the label as a cramp. Assuming Stephenson isn't dealing with anything more serious, he should be back in action soon. Tucker Barnhart replaced Stephenson behind the plate.

Impact He hit an RBI single in the third inning, then crushed an 86 MPH changeup to center field for a seventh-inning home run.

On the season, the 24-year-old is slashing .282/.372/.419.
