Provides early offense Fraley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Fraley's blast off Bobby Miller capped off the Reds' three-run first inning. While Fraley is batting a meager .213 (10-for-47) since the All-Star break, he's tallied four homers and nine RBI in that 13-game span. The outfielder is up to a .264/.348/.476 slash line with 15 homers, 61 RBI, 38 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 87 contests, primarily in a strong-side platoon role.

Goes deep, then leaves Fraley went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run and was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to San Francisco.

Impact Fraley gave the Reds an early 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning with his 13th home run of the season. In the fifth inning, he was removed for pinch hitter Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who delivered a three-run home run off lefty reliever Sean Manaea for his first hit as a major leaguer. The lefty-swinging Fraley has just 36 plate appearances against southpaws in 2023.

Launches homer in loss Fraley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.

Impact Fraley launched his career-high tying 12th home run to give the Reds an early 3-1 lead. He leads the club with 54 RBI. It was the third consecutive game he's batted third -- all against right-handers -- but there should be tweaks to the order after the Reds recalled prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand from Triple-A Louisville. Fraley's playing time will not be affected, but his slot in the order could.

Prevents no-hitter Fraley went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Fraley's fourth-inning, infield single was the Reds' lone hit in what turned out to be the third consecutive shutout loss to the Brewers. He batted out of the three hole for a second straight game, swapping spots with Jonathan India, but it's unclear if that will be a permanent alignment going forward.

JULY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves up to three spot Fraley is starting at designated hitter and batting third Friday against the Brewers.

Impact Fraley has made 17 previous starts in the three hole this season, but this is the first time he's batted there since late May. He's flip-flopped with Jonathan India, who will move down to the five spot. Fraley has a .914 OPS versus righties this season and will face off against right-hander Corbin Burnes on Friday.

Impact Fraley started the game on the bench with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound before walking twice as a pinch hitter and swiping his 14th and 15th bags. The 28-year-old Fraley has been productive despite his platoon role, going 21-for-60 (.350) with six homers and eight steals in his last 20 games. Overall, he's slashing an impressive .274./359/.474 with 11 homers, 50 RBI and 30 runs scored through 245 plate appearances this season.

Sits versus southpaw Fraley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Fraley and fellow left-handed-hitting outfielders TJ Friedl and Will Benson will move to the bench for the series opener while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for the series opener. After going 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in his return to the lineup for Sunday's extra-inning win over Houston following a brief stay on the injured list, Fraley should remain a fixture in the lineup when the Reds face right-handed pitching.

JUNE 18, 2023 • KANSASCITY.COM

Reinstated off injured list Fraley (wrist) was activated off the 10-day injured list by the Reds on Sunday.

Impact Fraley missed just the minimum 10 days while recovering from a contusion on his right wrist. The outfielder is hitting fifth and playing left field versus the Astros on Sunday. The Reds optioned TJ Hopkins to Triple-A Louisville to make room for Fraley on the 26-man active roster.

JUNE 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expects to be back Sunday Fraley (wrist) expects to return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday, MLB.com reports.

Impact The Reds return home from a road trip Monday, but Fraley seems optimistic he'll be back Sunday in Houston. Fraley has been on the shelf for the last week-plus with a small muscle tear in his right wrist, but he's feeling better after being given a cortisone injection.

Reds reinstate OF TJ Friedl, place OF Jake Fraley on IL The Cincinnati Reds reinstated TJ Friedl on Saturday, with fellow outfielder Jake Fraley taking his place on the 10-day injured list.

JUNE 10, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Lands on IL Fraley was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right wrist contusion.

Impact He will be eligible to return June 18 in Houston. TJ Friedl was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move, and there will still be playing time available for at least one of Stuart Fairchild or Will Benson most days. Fraley's career has been plagued by injuries, as he has never played in more than 78 MLB games in a season since debuting in 2019.

JUNE 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out of lineup versus lefty Fraley (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Cardinals.

Impact Fraley will remain on the bench for a third straight game Friday versus left-hander Jordan Montgomery. It's unclear whether he's available off the bench or not as a potential pinch hitter with his wrist injury, but Jonathan India will draw the start at designated hitter and bat third against St. Louis.

JUNE 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out against lefty Fraley (wrist) remains out of the lineup for Thursday's game versus the Dodgers.

Impact It's the second straight game he's sat out with a bruised right wrist, although Fraley almost surely wouldn't be starting against southpaw Clayton Kershaw, anyway. The Reds are slated to face another lefty Friday in the Cardinals' Jordan Montgomery, so we might not see Fraley back in the lineup until Saturday.

JUNE 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Scratched with bruised wrist Fraley was scratched from the lineup Wednesday versus the Dodgers due to a right wrist contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

Impact Fraley got hit by a pitch in the wrist during Tuesday night's 9-8 win over Los Angeles, though he did play the entire game and can safely be considered day-to-day. Will Benson is now in right field and batting leadoff for the Reds on Wednesday. T.J. Hopkins will play left field and hit ninth.
