Dateline: 1,209 Kilometers from the Gulf of Mexico

The thumb on Tyler Stephenson, left (catching hand) has healed. Terry Francona put him right into the lineup. Backup catcher, Jose Trevino, caught as many as seven games in a row in his absence.

The broken thumb put him on the 10-day injured list on August 20. He missed 16 games in which the Reds were 6-10. He is catching Friday night against the New York Mets, batting seventh.

"The thumbs good. The test in Anaheim catching Lodolo's bullpen. it didn't feel great. I finally got an X-ray. I caught seven on Wednesday and didn't have any issues. I caught (Chase) Burns live. He was throwing 101 it feels good," Stephenson. "Luckily my hitting wasn't bothered at all."

Stephenson hit a home run in Louisville. He caught seven innings on Wednesday and was the DH on Thursday.

The Reds sent Will Banfield back to Louisville whose season ends soon.
