What happened: Suárez is a slugger, while Friedl is an outfielder. Ken Rosenthal attributed their waiver availability to sources.
Why it matters: A successful claim could produce a late-season roster change involving either player. The development follows a one-run Cincinnati victory that narrowed San Francisco's series advantage.
By the numbers: San Francisco entered the finale leading 2-0; Cincinnati's win cut the series margin to 2-1.
What to watch: Watch whether either player is claimed and changes clubs through the waiver process.
