Reds Waive Eugenio Suárez and TJ Friedl

The Cincinnati Reds have placed designated hitter Eugenio Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl on waivers, allowing them to continue playing while the 48-hour process unfolds. Suárez, who recently hit a grand slam, has struggled this season with a .208 batting average but has notable power, while Friedl has had a disappointing year, hitting .158. Both players are unlikely to be claimed due to their salaries and performance, with the Reds expected to non-tender Friedl if he remains on the roster. The waiver order favors teams with worse records, but few are likely to pursue a rental player.
