TJ Friedl (wrist) out 3-4 weeks for Reds

Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl has been diagnosed with a fractured right wrist and will be reassessed in 3-to-4 weeks.

What It Means:

Friedl was diagnosed after exiting Saturday's Cactus League game against the Seattle Mariners. Reds President of Baseball Operations Nick Krall said that Will Benson and Stuart Fairchild will have more opportunities in center field. Jake Fraley and Jonathan India should also see steady playing time while Friedl is sidelined.

Prior to this report, numberFire's models projected Friedl to record a .254 batting average and .735 OPS across 521 plate appearances this season, with 15 homers, 57 RBI, 18 steals, and 67 runs scored.
