Friedl entered Friday's game to play left field after Michael Toglia was removed with a dislocated shoulder. The former went 1-for-2 in a 9-0 loss to Arizona.
Friedl recently lost playing time to others in the outfield but may benefit from the injury. The initial reaction to the injury was that Toglia could miss significant time, but X-rays came back negative, and there's hope he could avoid a stint on the injured list. The Reds will get by at corner outfield with some combination of Friedl, JJ Bleday and Hector Rodriguez.
