## Resource

The Reds are making a bold move by bringing TJ Friedl back up from Triple-A to fill center field after Blake Dunn goes on the injured list with an elbow strain. Friedl, who struggled earlier this season before getting optioned, bounced back strong in the minors with a .271 average. Manager Francona praised the team’s excitement to see him return, signaling his importance. With Dunn’s absence and Dane Myers sidelined, Friedl is now the clear center fielder — even as Elly De La Cruz gets a rare leadoff nod. The Reds are hoping Friedl can rediscover his form and bring stability to a lineup juggling multiple injuries and lineup changes.
