This is a good sign.

Spencer Steer has been dealing with a shoulder injury that has limited him to just hitting since the beginning of spring training.

He has been on a throwing program and before Thursday's finale against the Seattle Mariners, Steer was going through an "intense" workout to see how his shoulder handles it.

If his shoulder recovers from the workout, there is a chance the Reds could start playing Steer at first base relatively soon.

The 27-year-old has struggled at the plate, slashing just .120/.185/.220 with three extra-base hits in 14 games as the designated hitter.

You can watch Steer making some throws before Thursday's game below:
