EDGE Analysis

Fraley has been batting third in the order in his most recent spring training starts against right-handed pitchers, perhaps indicating his likely regular season spot. The homer against a lefty on Saturday is noteworthy - he hit just .143/.226/.250 against them last season and rarely saw action when a southpaw was on the mound.
