Friedl Calls Up, Dunn Goes Down

The Reds are making a key roster adjustment, calling up TJ Friedl from Triple-A while placing Blake Dunn on the injured list due to an elbow issue. Friedl, who struggled early with a low batting average and high strikeouts, appears to have turned things around in the minors—showing improved plate discipline and better stats. Dunn, who filled in for Friedl and delivered solid defense along with a .280+ average, now misses time. Friedl is expected to reclaim his center field role, with Matt McLain possibly getting reps in the outfield. The move doesn’t affect Friedl’s free agency timeline, as he still has enough service time to reach it after the season. The Reds are focused on getting Friedl back on track while managing Dunn’s recovery. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
