TJ Friedl Out For Reds On Tuesday
5 months agoCincinnati Reds outfielder TJ Friedl (hamstring) is not in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates. Freidl was pulled from Monday's series opener with hamstring tightness that isn't considered serious. For now, fantasy managers should consider him to be day-to-day. With Friedl sidelined, Stuart Fairchild is starting in center field and will bat leadoff against Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter. Check back on Wednesday to see if Friedl is able to return for the series finale. The 28-year-old outfielder has some serious fantasy value when he's facing right-handed pitching, but injuries have held him back in 2024, and he's currently hitting only .214 (18-for-84) with four homers and six stolen bases. Fairchild will have some DFS sleeper appeal atop the lineup. He's hitting just .227 (27-for-119) with four homers and six steals.
