Reds' TJ Friedl: Returns to lineup
Friedl started in center field and batted eighth in Sunday's 10-3 loss to the Guardians. He went 0-for-2 and was pinch hit for in the seventh inning.
Friedl's playing time has taken a dramatic hit, as Sunday's start was his first in four games. When a leadoff batter is hitting .184 two months into the season, that forces a manager to seek other solutions in the field and at leadoff. Will Benson batted leadoff Sunday, and he's been sharing that role with Dane Myers the last five contests. For now, Friedl appears to be in a platoon, getting starts against righties, but either Benson or JJ Bleday could serve in that role if Friedl doesn't improve. He's gone 2-for-25 over his last eight games.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Playing time trending down
Friedl is not in the lineup for Friday's game in Cleveland.
Friedl could be losing his grip on an everyday role. This is his second straight absence and the fourth across the Reds' last eight contests. Additionally, in his last start Friedl batted eighth after previously not hitting anywhere other than leadoff this season. Will Benson is covering center field and batting leadoff for the Reds on Friday. Friedl is slashing just .184/.268/.270 for Cincinnati this season.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Not in Sunday's lineup
Friedl is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Astros.
Friedl has gone 1-for-17 across the past five games and will hit the bench Sunday with opposing pitcher Kai-Wei Teng starting what is expected to be a bullpen game for Houston. Blake Dunn will take over in center field while Will Benson steps into the leadoff spot for Cincinnati.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Continues hot stretch
Friedl went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 9-1 loss to the Pirates.
Friedl had two of the Reds' three hits and was the only bright light in the loss. The two-hit night continued a strong stretch for the outfielder, who has gone 12-for-38 (.316) with two home runs, five doubles, one steal, six RBI and five runs over the last 10 contests. Friedl has slowly climbed out of a deep hole -- his batting average stood at .137 after 20 games -- and is at a season-high .198.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Tallies three hits, including homer
Friedl went 3-for-4 with a double, solo home run and an additional run against the Tigers in a 9-2 win Saturday.
Friedl capped a big offensive game by the Reds with a solo blast in the eighth inning. His three total hits tied a season-high mark, and this was the first time all season Friedl has logged multiple extra-base hits in a game. In fact, the veteran outfielder went 20 contests at the outset of the campaign without any extra-base knocks on his ledger. He seems to be turning things around since, going 7-for-19 with three doubles, Saturday's homer, four RBI and a stolen base across his past five games.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Sparks offense in comeback win
Friedl went 2-for-5 with a double, three RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's 7-4 extra-inning win over the Twins.
Friedl flipped the game in the top of the ninth inning, giving the Reds a 4-3 lead on a bases-clearing double. It was the first extra-base hit of the season for the 30-year-old, who entered the contest in an 0-for-10 slump across his previous three games. He's struggled overall so far, slashing .154/.267/.167 with four RBI and seven runs scored across 92 plate appearances, but has contributed four steals.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Taking seat versus lefty
Friedl is not in the lineup for Tuesday's contest against the Giants.
Friedl was in the lineup each of the first two times the Reds faced a lefty this season, but in the two games versus lefties since then, he's been out of the starting nine. The righty-swinging Dane Myers will patrol center field and bat leadoff in Friedl's stead.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Sitting against southpaw
Friedl is absent from the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.
Friedl remained in the lineup the first two times the Reds faced a southpaw this season, but the left-handed hitter will take a seat Friday as the Rangers send MacKenzie Gore to the bump. Dane Myers will cover center field and bat second for Cincinnati.

Reds' TJ Friedl: Finishing out productive spring
Friedl started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Monday's spring game against Milwaukee.
Friedl is capping off a productive spring, during which he's slashed .326/.400/.442 with six walks, two doubles, one home run, six RBI and nine runs scored over 16 Cactus League games. The start in left field was his fourth, as manager Terry Francona continues to toy with various outfield alignments. Friedl is expected to mostly play center field and be the team's leadoff batter in the regular season.
