TJ Friedl's injury update leads to historic Reds call-up for Army grad

The Cincinnati Reds aren't making many storylines with the way they're playing this season but the franchise was part of history on Monday. Unfortunately, it comes at the expense of Reds outfielder TJ Friedl who was placed on the injured list for the second time in 2024. Friedl returned on May 7 from a wrist fracture he suffered in spring training. The Reds sent Friedl to the injured list the next day with a left thumb fracture.
