Cincinnati Reds activate TJ Friedl from injured list

As it mercifully turns out, the oblique injury that sent Cincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl to the 10-day IL was not of the super-serious variety. If it seems like he’s barely been sidelined, well, that’s because he missed precisely the minimum amount of time alotted to him when placed on the IL, and today was activated by the Reds to tee-off against Adam Wainwright and the St. Louis Cardinals in Great American Ball Park.

The Reds announced the move on Twitter, noting that OF Will Benson has been optioned back to AAA Louisville.
