What's Happening?
Spencer Steer of the Cincinnati Reds was not included in the lineup for the game against the Oakland Athletics on Saturday. This decision follows Steer's performance in the previous game, where he went 1-for-4 with a steal and two strikeouts. In his absence, Sal Stewart will take over as the Reds' first baseman and bat sixth in the lineup.
Why It's Important?
Steer's absence from the lineup could impact the Reds' strategy and performance, as he has been a regular contributor to the team. The decision to bench him may be a strategic move to optimize the lineup against the Athletics or to give Steer a rest. This change could affect the Reds' chances in the game and their overall standing in the league.
