The Reds believe Friedl (wrist) will be able to return ahead of the two months he would have to miss if placed on the 60-day injured list, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

Friedl will open the season on the injured list due to a broken wrist, and the organization is mulling its options for the final roster spot -- probably someone that can play center field. The most likely options are Bubba Thompson and Jacob Hurtubise, both of whom are on the 40-man roster, but neither player is expected to have a significant role while Friedl is unavailable.
