April 12, 2024 6:37 PM : Friedl (wrist) underwent a follow-up MRI on Thursday and it was determined that he needs another 7-to-10 days of lighter activity before ramping up, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Analysis: Friedl had been hoping to be cleared for more activity at this point, but he will have to wait and let his wrist bone heal a bit more before increasing the intensity of his workouts. The center fielder landed awkwardly on a diving attempt in spring training and was diagnosed with a small fracture of the distal radius of his right wrist. Despite his slower than expected progress, a move to the 60-day IL seems unlikely unless Friedl is further delayed from here.
