The Reds recalled Stephenson from Triple-A Louisville on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson was called up to take the roster spot of Homer Bailey, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list. The 23-year-old's immediate role has not been confirmed, but a story came out Sunday saying he might receive a start this week, and with him now on the roster and the Reds short on starters, it appears that could come to fruition.
