TJ Friedl impressed in his latest stint in the big leagues, firmly in the Cincinnati Reds’ outfield mix for spring training next year, but his season came to a disappointing end.
Friedl exited Monday’s game against the Chicago Cubs in the third inning after injuring his right hamstring as he attempted to steal third base. Friedl immediately grabbed at the back of his leg and Reds third-base coach J.R. House signaled for a trainer.
Unable to put much weight on his right leg, Friedl was helped off the field by Manager David Bell and assistant trainer Tomas Vera.
