Reds' TJ Friedl Returns to Injured List with Fractured Thumb
Cincinnati outfielder faces another setback after missing early season games with wrist injury.
- Friedl was hit by a pitch in Sunday's game against the Giants, resulting in a thumb fracture.
- He will be out for four to five weeks, according to Reds manager David Bell.
- Friedl had just returned from a fractured right wrist that sidelined him for the season's start.
- Jacob Hurtubise has been called up from Triple-A to replace Friedl on the roster.
- Hurtubise will be the first Army graduate to play in MLB under a 2019 policy change.
