Reds Cut TJ Friedl, Recall Carson Spiers Amid Roster Shakeup

The Cincinnati Reds designated outfielder TJ Friedl for assignment on September 20, 2026, to clear a 40-man roster spot for right-hander Carson Spiers. This move effectively ends Friedl’s tenure with the club, following a disastrous 2026 season where he slashed .179/.259/.256. The Reds also placed ace Chase Burns on the 15-day injured list for a groin strain, signaling the end of his season. Spiers, who missed 2026 due to elbow surgery, was called up from Triple-A Louisville. The Reds are expected to non-tender Friedl after the season, though he could reject an outright assignment to become a free agent, forfeiting his remaining guaranteed money.

Suárez and Friedl Clear Waivers, Locking Reds Into Costly Dead Money

Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl cleared waivers and will remain with the Cincinnati Reds, forcing the club to absorb significant remaining salary. The Reds hoped to shed these contracts before the September 1 postseason eligibility deadline to save money, but no other team claimed either player. Suárez, a high-profile signing, is batting .208 with 19 home runs, while Friedl is slumping to .158. Both players are expected to play in Friday’s game against the Chicago Cubs. The Reds now face difficult decisions regarding their futures, including potential non-tendering of Friedl and the unlikely exercise of Suárez’s mutual option.

Reds Place Suárez, Friedl on Waivers Amid Late-Season Payroll Strategy

The Cincinnati Reds placed Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl on waivers on August 26, 2026, to potentially shed salary obligations. Both players remained eligible to play for Cincinnati during the 48-hour waiver window. Suárez, a veteran power hitter, had a disappointing season with a .208 average and 19 home runs, while Friedl struggled significantly with a .158 average. The move aimed to offload remaining contract money to a contending team or clear waivers to retain the players for the season's final month.

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.

Reds Activate TJ Friedl, DFA Mike Ford

The Cincinnati Reds have reinstated outfielder TJ Friedl from the injured list and designated first baseman/designated hitter Mike Ford for assignment. Despite Ford's impressive minor league and spring training performance, he struggled in the major leagues, hitting just .150/.177/.233 in 62 plate appearances. The Reds now have a week to trade, waive, or release Ford.

Reds' Young Hitters Sweep Cubs and Rise in NL Central Standings.

Despite being in a rebuilding phase, the Cincinnati Reds are currently third in the National League Central and only four games behind the first-place Brewers. The team's young offense has been a key factor in their success, with players like Matt McLain, TJ Friedl, and Spencer Steer contributing to their recent three-game sweep of the Cubs. Veterans like Nick Senzel and Kevin Newman have also been making significant contributions. The Reds' aggressive baserunning and "next player up" mentality have helped them stay competitive in a weakened division.
