Reds utility-man Spencer Steer is still recovering from the shoulder soreness he dealt with late last season. He'll likely start the spring as a designated hitter only according to The Enquirer's Gordan Wittenmyer.

Steer, 27, has played in parts of three seasons for the Reds, slashing .245/.335/.425 with 128 home extra-base hits and 40 stolen bases.

He is known for his defensive versatility, having played right field, left field, shortstop, second base, and first base last season.

It doesn't seem like this should be a long-term issue, and Wittenmyer mentions he will work is way up to getting back on the field as spring training moves along.

Reds IF/OF Spencer Steer is still recovering from the shoulder soreness he dealt with late last season and likely will DH as spring games start up, eventually working up to getting in the field.
