Reds outfielder TJ Friedl went 1-for-4 with a home run in a 6-4 win over the Rockies on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Friedl's two-run shot in the fifth inning, his second of the season, gave the Reds a 3-2 lead that they would not relinquish en route to a 6-4 win. The 30-year-old has reached double-digit homers and stolen bases in two of the last three seasons, but is off to a slow start this year with a .187/.269/.280 slash line with two homers, 10 runs, five RBI, and four stolen bases across 28 games on the campaign.
Reds outfielder TJ Friedl went 3-for-4 with a homer in a 9-2 rout of the Tigers on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact
Friedl had already singled and doubled in the contest before connecting for his first homer of the season, a solo shot in the eighth inning to cap the evening's scoring. He also added an additional run scored to his ledger. It's been a slow start to the season for the 30-year-old who is now slashing .185/.279/.250 with one homer and four stolen bases across 25 games.
TJ Friedl went 2-for-5 with three RBI in the Reds 7-4 win over the Twins in 10 innings on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Friedl hit a bases clearing double in the ninth inning to give the Reds a 4-3 lead. He also added a stolen base.
Reds outfielder TJ Friedl recorded a three-hit game in Wednesday's loss to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact
All three of Friedl's knocks were singles, although it's certainly a positive sign for the 30-year-old, who is hitting just .186 through the first 12 games of the season. Despite the slow start, Friedl does have a solid power/speed combination that could play in fantasy formats if his bat can heat up after Wednesday's effort.
The Reds agreed to terms with OF TJ Friedl on a one-year, $3.8 million contract.
Fantasy Impact
Friedl is entering his first year of arbitration. He is coming off slashing .261/.364/.378 in 685 plate appearances last season. He figures to remain in the same role heading into this year.
