Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) leaves game

Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson left Thursday’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks after taking a foul ball off his right thumb.

Stephenson, 25, left in the fourth inning after Diamondbacks center fielder Jordan Luplow fouled a pitch off the catcher’s throwing hand. Stephenson was replaced by Aramis Garcia.

Stephenson was 0 for 2 on the day before leaving.

Stephenson is batting .305 with five home runs and 31 RBIs on the season, his third with the Reds.
