Steer is hitting second and serving as the designated hitter Friday against the Brewers.
Steer was originally out of the lineup, but Matt McLain (hamstring) was scratched roughly an hour before first pitch. After the Reds reconfigured the order, Steer is now set to occupy a prominent spot in the lineup, and he'll look to get on track after beginning the season with only one hit across 18 at-bats.
