Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson, on the IL for a fracture in the tip of his thumb, was fitted for a protective sleeve to wear under his mitt.

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson was placed on the injured list Wednesday because of a small fracture on the tip of his left thumb, an injury he initially sustained while catching a pitch from hard-throwing right-hander Hunter Greene last week.

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) has been getting himself fitted for a padded thumb guard for his fractured thumb. This guard will then be inserted inside the catcher's mitt, as the team believes that he can play again this season.
