Spencer Steer’s latest checkup for his wrist went well, Francona said. Steer was cleared to do range of motion stuff and do stuff with the bat. Seems unlikely he will get into any games but the club is exploring options/logisitics to get him at-bats somewhere after the season, maybe even AFL. #reds
