TJ Friedl Packs Power in Reds' Narrow Loss
by Jesse Garcia | Reds Correspondent | Wed, Aug 7th 10:21pm EDT
TJ Friedl went 1-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in the Reds' 6-4 defeat to the Marlins.
Fantasy Impact:
His performance, highlighted by a significant home run, contributed heavily to the Reds' scoring efforts, though it wasn't enough to secure a win. Despite a struggling season with a batting average of just .218, Friedl's ability to drive in runs (28 RBI in 38 games) and occasional power (six homers) can offer sporadic boosts in fantasy value. However, his low batting average and BABIP (.221) suggest that hits and on-base opportunities might continue to be limited. Fantasy managers should view Friedl as a potential depth option in deeper leagues, primarily for his RBI and occasional home run potential, rather than a consistent starter.
