Jake Fraley - Logs ninth stealFraley went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.

T.J. Friedl - Hitless in returnFriedl went 0-for-3 with two walks in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to St. Louis.
ImpactFriedl was activated off the injured list Wednesday after successfully rehabbing a thumb injury. He resumed his roles as the team's starting center fielder and leadoff hitter. It's been a season of stops and starts thus far for Friedl, who was back only six games from a wrist injury when he injured the thumb. The Reds and fantasy managers alike are hoping for his sustained presence in the lineup.

Brendan Donovan - Starting to heat upDonovan went 3-for-4 with a double and a hit-by-pitch in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds.
ImpactThis was Donovan's third multi-hit effort in the last five games. He's now gone 17-for-49 (.347) over his last 13 contests, though he has zero home runs and six doubles in that span. The 27-year-old is up to a .245/.326/.382 slash line with four homers, 25 RBI, 26 runs scored, 14 doubles, one triple and no stolen bases over 233 plate appearances this season. Donovan's lack of steals and mediocre sprint speed -- in the 42nd percentile, per Statcast -- makes him an odd fit for the leadoff role, but that's where he's hit for most of the campaign. Masyn Winn has also seen time at leadoff versus left-handed pitchers recently, but Donovan remains atop the order versus righties.

Masyn Winn - Racks up three hits in winWinn went 3-for-4 with one RBI in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Reds.
ImpactWinn extended his hitting streak to 16 games with Wednesday's strong effort out of the No. 8 spot in the order. He's gone 23-for-61 (.377) with eight extra-base hits, 11 RBI and two stolen bases during the streak. Winn is up to a .308/.358/.440 slash line with two homers, seven steals, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored, 11 doubles and two triples over 49 contests this season. He's seen some looks at leadoff versus left-handed pitchers, but he remains deeper in the order for now against right-handers.
