Feeling better Fraley (COVID-19) is feeling better, but he will remain away from the team until at least July 26, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Fraley is currently in southern California due to a positive COVID-19 test. However, he is feeling better and can rejoin the team within the next few days. Even so, Fraley will need time to ramp back up, so he it's possible that he is sidelined until the final days of July or early August.

Mariners place Fraley on COVID-19 list after positive test

Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley has been placed on the COVID-19 injured list after testing positive on Saturday

JULY 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Positive for COVID-19 Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that Fraley's placement on the injured list Sunday was the result of a positive COVID-19 test, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact The skipper noted that Fraley has experienced symptoms of the virus, so the outfielder could require a longer recovery period than most other players who have been placed on the COVID-19-related IL this season. Dillon Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he could vie with Shed Long and Jake Bauers for two available spots in the Mariners' everyday outfield. Top prospect Jarred Kelenic looks to be the only Mariners outfielder locked into a regular role after being promoted from Tacoma coming out of the All-Star break.

Lands on IL The Mariners placed Fraley (illness) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.

Impact An illness has kept Fraley out of the lineup since the All-Star break and will now sideline him for another week or so. The outfielder had fallen into a cold stretch before the break, going just 3-for-25 with two RBI in his last eight games. Dillon Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Still out Sunday Fraley (illness) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact The outfielder will miss a third consecutive game with a non-COVID illness. It's unclear whether he'll be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener in Colorado. Jarred Kelenic is starting in center field and batting seventh Sunday.

Managing illness Fraley was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Angels due to an illness, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact Fraley was unable to start Friday since he was feeling under the weather, but the issue isn't believed to be related to COVID-19. The 26-year-old remains with the team in Anaheim, so he should be considered day-to-day for now.

Late scratch Friday Fraley was scratched from Friday's lineup against the Angels for an unspecified reason.

Impact It's not yet clear whether Fraley could be available off the bench or whether his removal from the lineup is due to an injury. Shed Long will take over in left field and bat ninth.

Struggles at end of first half Fraley posted a .120/.233/.120 slash line with two RBI, four walks and one run across 30 plate appearances over his last eight games of the first half of the season.

Impact The inconsistent outfielder limped into the All-Star break after an encouraging 27-game stretch of hitting that easily qualified as Fraley's best yet in the majors. The 26-year-old posted a .291 average and 1.010 OPS over the first 100 plate appearances he logged following his return from the injured list May 31, a sample that included all seven of Fraley's home runs this season as well as 20 of his 23 RBI. The hope for both the Mariners and fantasy managers is that the time away afforded by the All-Star break will give Fraley an opportunity to reset at the plate and bring his pedestrian .237 average much more up to par with his elite .409 on-base percentage and respectable .439 slugging percentage.

Plates winning run Friday Fraley went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, two walks, two stolen bases, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 5-4 extra-innings win over the Rangers.

Impact Fraley got the Mariners on the board in the fifth with a leadoff solo homer to right. The 26-year-old would eventually walk it off in the 10th after sneaking a ground ball past the second baseman to score Jake Bauers from third. Fraley has successfully reached base in eight of his last nine games and is slashing .270/.454/.528 with seven homers, 21 RBI, 17 runs scored, seven steals and a 29:30 BB:K over 119 plate appearances. Fraley's been a nice surprise in his first full season at the major league level. He possesses above-average speed and has a keen sense for getting on base often.

Across 31 games, the 26-year-old is batting .256/.439/.488 with six long balls.
