  09/28/2025 • By RotoWire

Stewart got the scoring started with an RBI single in the third inning and later added a solo homer in the sixth. The 21-year-old has more than held his own through his first 58 major-league plate appearances, slashing .255/.293/.545 with five home runs, eight RBI and 11 runs scored.

• Reds' Sal Stewart: Losing out on playing time

  09/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Stewart is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs. On the bench for the third game in a row, Stewart appears to have faded into a utility infield role while Spencer Steer has regained control of primary duties at first base. The Reds will still likely find room for Stewart in the lineup against left-handed pitching, but the rookie's opportunities to play against righties could be sporadic over the final week of the regular season.

• Reds' Sal Stewart: Fills in at first base Saturday

  09/21/2025 • By RotoWire

  Stewart entered Saturday's 6-3 win over the Cubs in the sixth inning to play first base and went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance. Stewart entered the game when left fielder Austin Hays (back) was removed, and Spencer Steer moved from first base to left field. Stewart had been held out of the starting lineups Friday and Saturday, likely in deference to the hot-hitting Steer and the return of third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes, who missed time with a back issue. The Hays injury could lead to opportunities for Stewart at first base, although manager Terry Francona has more options for left field than just Steer. Will Benson and Gavin Lux could also fill in.

  Stewart is not in Saturday's lineup against the Cubs. Stewart will head to the bench for a second game in a row, Friday against a lefty and Saturday against righty Javier Assad. The righty-hitting rookie has been swinging a hot bat (.972 OPS over his last 11 games), but Spencer Steer has been even more productive of late (three homers, eight RBI over last three games), and Steer is starting at first base and batting second Saturday.
