Mandatory Credit: Benny Sieu-USA TODAY Sports The Cincinnati Reds placed outfielder TJ Friedl on the 10-day injured list Monday with a left hamstring strain.
Manager David Bell said Friedl aggravated the injury in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox and will miss 2-3 weeks.
Friedl, 28, is batting .208 with four homers and 16 RBIs in 26 games this season. It's his third trip to the IL this season after breaking his wrist on a diving catch in spring training and fracturing a finger when he was hit by a pitch on May 12 against the San Francisco Giants.
When healthy, Friedl batted .279 with 18 homers, 66 RBIs and 27 stolen bases in 138 games last season.
The Reds called up infielder/outfielder Levi Jordan from Triple-A Louisville in a corresponding move. Jordan, 28, was set to make his major league debut on Monday night against visiting Pittsburgh, starting in right field and batting eighth.
Jordan, originally a 29th-round draft pick by the Chicago Cubs in 2018, is batting .302 with five homers and 24 RBIs in 54 games this season at Louisville.
