Cincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson has been on the injured list since the start of the season with a low-grade left oblique strain.
Jim Day provided an update on the Reds' backstop before Friday's game against the Colorado Rockies.
"Inclement weather is affecting his return," Day said. "Louisville rained out so they will play a doubleheader tomorrow. The plan originally was for Stephenson to catch, DH, and then catch. They don't think it's far for him to catch both ends of the double header tomorrow so he will DH both of those games and then catch on Sunday."
Stephenson's rehab has went well thus far.
After Sunday's game, the Reds will reassess whether Stephenson will continue his rehab or be activated to the big leagues.
