Reds place Eugenio Suárez on waivers after grand slam comeback win

Summary

Eugenio Suárez's ninth-inning grand slam led the Cincinnati Reds to a 10-9 victory over the San Francisco Giants on August 26, marking the team's largest comeback since 1958. Following the game, the Reds reportedly placed Suárez and outfielder TJ Friedl on outright waivers as a cost-cutting measure. Suárez's performance comes amid a season marked by struggles and a disappointing record of 63-71, with the team nine games out of a wild-card spot. The Reds are unlikely to have Suárez or Friedl return for the 2027 season, as they seek to rebuild and cut expenses.
