Stephenson went 2-for-4 with a pair of home runs and four RBI in Saturday's 6-4 win against San Francisco.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson kicked off the scoring with a solo shot in the second inning and added a three-run blast in the fourth. The homers were the first extra-base hits of any kind for the backstop over his past 11 games, and the four RBI were twice as many as he had accounted for over his previous 15 contests combined. This was Stephenson's second multi-homer performance of the campaign, and with his two long balls Saturday he's at 13 on the season, tying the career-high mark he established last year.

Stephenson is not in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader in Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson went 1-for-3 with two walks and two runs while catching all nine innings of the Reds' 9-4 win in the first game of the day, so his absence from the lineup from the nightcap is expected. Austin Wynns will start behind the plate for the Reds in Game 2.

Stephenson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson went 1-for-6 with a solo home run and two walks while starting behind the plate in the first two games of the series, but he'll be given the afternoon off as the Reds look to avoid a three-game sweep in Washington. Austin Wynns will draw the start at catcher Sunday.

Stephenson went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.

Stephenson went 2-for-5 with two home runs and five RBI in Thursday's 8-1 win over the Rockies.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson's three-run shot in the third inning was all the Reds needed, but he added another homer -- a two-run blast -- in the seventh. It was quite a series for the catcher, who mashed four home runs and drove in eight over the three-game set. The 27-year-old backstop is up to 10 home runs in 76 games, putting him on pace to wipe out the career-high 13 swatted in 2023.

EDGE Analysis

Stephenson was behind the dish for the first two games of the series, so it makes sense to give him a breather for Thursday's matinee. Luke Maile will do the catching for Frankie Montas.

Stephenson started at catcher, batted fifth and went 0-for-3 with a walk in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees.

EDGE Analysis
