On 2024-03-16, Cincinnati Reds' center fielder TJ Friedl sustained a right wrist injury during a game, initially attempting a diving catch on a Ryan Bliss liner. The incident led to Friedl leaving the game with what was later diagnosed as a right wrist sprain, and subsequently, an MRI revealed a non-displaced fracture in the same wrist. Despite efforts to update on his condition, including Friedl wearing a brace on his right wrist, a definitive timeline for Friedl's return remains uncertain, with re-evaluation slated for 3-4 weeks. This injury means Friedl will miss the start of the 2024 MLB season, marking a significant loss for the Reds as he was poised to be a breakout player. The team now faces the challenge of filling the void left by their starting center fielder's extended absence.
