Reds Retain Suárez, Friedl After Unclaimed Waivers, Kickstart Offseason Payroll Talks

Veterans Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl cleared outright waivers and will remain with the Reds, leaving Cincinnati to weigh offseason moves as they approach the postseason eligibility deadline; Suárez is owed roughly $2.57M of his $15M salary and is hitting .208/.295/.410 with 19 homers, while Friedl is owed about $633K of his $3.8M and has slumped to .158/.242/.234 with 1-for-34.

Reds Place Suárez and Friedl on Waivers, Eyeing September Moves

The Cincinnati Reds placed Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl on waivers (not designated for assignment), allowing them to remain with Cincinnati during the 48‑hour waiver window if unclaimed. If a contending club claims either player, Cincinnati would shed part of their remaining salaries; if they clear waivers, they’ll finish the season with the Reds. Suárez, making $15M with 19 homers but a .208/.295/.410 line, could be a right‑handed power bench option for a contender, while Friedl, owed about $3.8M in arbitration and slumping to .158/.242/.234, is likely to be non‑tendered next offseason. Waiver priority is inverse standings, with the Angels atop the list, and most likely no club will claim them, though a rental scenario remains possible for a team still in playoff contention.

Friedl Back in Reds’ Center Field as Dunn Goes on IL

The Cincinnati Reds recalled TJ Friedl from Triple-A to replace the injured Blake Dunn, who was placed on the injured list with elbow discomfort. Friedl had struggled this season but has surged in Triple-A, posting a .271/.370/.471 line with a 122 wRC+ in 81 plate appearances, suggesting he’s back to being an everyday option in center field. Dunn will undergo elbow evaluations in Cincinnati and is expected to remain a defensive backup upon his return; Matt McLain could also handle occasional center-field duties if needed. Friedl’s move restores the Reds’ center-field alignment for now.
