MLB:
How could Stephenson's power and plate discipline be affected by the thumb injury late in the season?
Qwiket AI:
Thumb injuries can dampen bat speed and grip control. Expect a short-term power dip if he re-enters early, with gradual improvement if healing holds. Plate discipline may be steadier than raw power, but a patient approach at the plate could still yield solid counting stats as he regains timing.
