The Cincinnati Reds have activated TJ Friedl from the injured list. To make room for the move, they designated Mike Ford for assignment.

Friedl was only able to play in six games after coming back from his broken wrist before he was hit by a pitch and fracturing his thumb.

He was a vital part of the Reds offense in 2023, posting a .279/.352/.467 slash line.

The Reds take on the St. Louis Cardinals in the finale of the three game series today at 1:10 ET.
