  • Reds' TJ Friedl: Penciled into leadoff spot

    Rotowire

    Friedl is projected to serve as the Reds' Opening Day center fielder and leadoff hitter Thursday against the Giants, Charlie Goldsmith of Cincinnati Magazine reports.

    Friedl looks poised to return to the role of primary table-setter in Cincinnati -- a spot he filled regularly under former manager David Bell. Injuries limited Friedl to just 85 games last season and likely sapped his effectiveness at the plate, as his OPS plummeted from .819 in 2023 to just .690 in 2024. The 29-year-old managed only two extra-base hits (both doubles) and didn't steal a base this spring, but he at least got on base at a .352 clip across 54 Cactus League plate appearances.

  • Reds' TJ Friedl: Back in center field

    Rotowire

    Friedl started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.

    After offseason rumblings about Matt McLain moving to center field, Cincinnati manager Terry Francona stated McLain would play second base, which puts Friedl atop the depth chart in center field. Friedl was beset by injury during 2024, playing 85 games with a .690 OPS, but he should reclaim a role as the team's primary center fielder and leadoff batter this coming season.

  • Reds' TJ Friedl: Moves to leadoff Wednesday

    Rotowire

    Friedl batted leadoff and went 1-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Guardians.

    Friedl broke up a no-hitter with a bunt to lead off the seventh inning and scored Cincinnati's first run. He was moved back to leadoff -- his first time since June 23 -- as Jonathan India was held out after clearing concussion protocol. He's struggled of late, going 4-for-24 (.167) over the last eight games. It's assumed Friedl will drop back to the middle of the order once India's ready to return.
