Cincinnati Reds activate Tucker Barnhart, place Robert Stephenson on IL

The Cincinnati Reds roster continued it’s revolving-door start to the 2020 season on Tuesday. This time, in included catcher Tucker Barnhart’s return from the paternity list - congrats, Barnharts! - but unfortunately saw Robert Stephenson placed on the 10-day IL with a back issue.

The Reds announced the moves on Twitter.

Perhaps of note is that Tucker returns while Tyler Stephenson, who homered last night in his big league debut, remains with the club. That means they’ll be carrying three catchers, along with super-utility guy Kyle Farmer for now, too.
