The Reds road trip just continues to get worse for the team.It wasn’t even one inning of baseball until their young star catcher, Tyler Stephenson, took an apparent shot to the head during a collision at home plate.While Stephenson hung onto the ball for the out, he was in obvious pain as he laid flat on home plate.The training staff was able to help him up but he was led to the clubhouse almost immediately when returning to the dugout.With Stephenson being replaced by Aramis Garcia, the Reds only backup catcher, they lose their DH. This forces the Reds to use their pitcher and bench to hit for the duration of today’s game.This is just another hiccup for a struggling Reds team that has been plagued by injuries and illness to start the year.
