Fraley went 3-for-5 with a double in Wednesday's win over the Marlins.
EDGE Analysis
Batting eighth and getting the start in right field while Ronald Acuna received a partial breather as the designated hitter, Fraley led his new team with three knocks, although he didn't directly contribute to a 12-run eruption from the Atlanta offense. Fraley likely won't see consistent playing time with Acuna, Michael Harris and Jurickson Profar all locked into everyday roles in the outfield and the roster already having plenty of DH options, but he offers a strong bench bat against right-handed pitching -- since the start of the 2023 campaign, Fraley boasts a .772 OPS, 25 homers and 40 steals in 854 plate appearances in that split.

Fraley (knee) will start in right field and bat eighth in Wednesday's game in Miami.
EDGE Analysis
Despite being claimed off waivers from the Reds on Aug. 19, Fraley didn't play for Atlanta at any point over the past week. Fraley had suffered a hyperextended right knee in his final appearance with the Reds on Aug. 17, but Atlanta didn't deem the injury serious enough to place him on the injured list once he was claimed. Though his inclusion in the lineup indicates that he's healthy, Fraley is likely to see limited playing time for Atlanta down the stretch while all of Jurickson Profar, Michael Harris and Ronald Acuna are available to play the outfield.

Fraley (knee) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley tweaked his right knee Saturday while playing for the Reds and was designated for assignment Sunday. Atlanta picked up the veteran outfielder off waivers Tuesday, but Fraley has yet to debut. Given Atlanta has an established outfield trio of Jurickson Profar, Michael Harris and Ronald Acuna, Fraley should be considered unlikely to receive regular playing time when healthy.

Atlanta claimed Fraley (knee) off waivers Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder was designated for assignment by the Reds on Sunday, which happened to come after he hyperextended his right knee during Saturday's contest. That doesn't appear to be a serious injury, and Fraley should immediately step in as Atlanta's No. 4 outfielder.

The Reds designated Fraley (knee) for assignment Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder hyperextended his right knee in Saturday's loss to the Brewers, but his 3-for-28 performance at the plate over his last 11 games likely has more to do with him being jettisoned from the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Fraley has been limited to 67 games this season due to shoulder and calf issues and has a .232/.332/.387 slash line in 193 plate appearances. He's making $3.125 million this season and will have his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2026, so it's unclear if he'll receive much interest on waivers.

Fraley suffered a hyperextended right knee during the 10th inning of Saturday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to Milwaukee, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley's knee buckled while attempting to field a base hit. He then landed awkwardly and could only throw the ball back to the infield while lying prone in left field. He was immediately replaced by Santiago Espinal. The Reds have not yet indicated the severity of the injury.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds have faced exclusively right-handed starting pitchers in their four-game series in Pittsburgh, but the left-handed-hitting Fraley has still found himself on the bench for three of those contests. Fraley appears to have moved into a part-time role while Noelvi Marte has become the primary option in right field after trade-deadline pickup Ke'Bryan Hayes displaced him at third base.

Fraley is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
It's right-hander Paul Skenes on the hill for the Pirates, but the left-handed-hitting Fraley will nonetheless begin the contest on the bench. Fraley looks to have fallen behind Noelvi Marte in the Reds' outfield hierarchy, as Marte is starting in right field Thursday for the sixth time across the last seven games.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
The Dodgers are sending right-hander Shohei Ohtani to the hill Wednesday, but the left-handed-hitting Fraley will still hit the bench for the second time in the series. Noelvi Marte will get the start in right field for the series finale, and he could push Fraley for playing time moving forward after the Reds swung a deal Wednesday to acquire Ke'Bryan Hayes, who is expected to displace Marte as the team's everyday third baseman.

Fraley is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley and Will Benson have split right-field duties over the last four contests. The Reds will go with Benson in right and will slot him eighth in the batting order after Fraley handled the position in the previous two games.
