Fraley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees are sending a lefty (Max Fried) to the hill for the second day in a row, so the left-handed-hitting Fraley will once again take a seat. He'll give way in right field to Rece Hinds.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds typically hold the left-handed-hitting Fraley out of the lineup against southpaws, but after starting in each of the last four contests, the veteran outfielder will hit the bench while a righty (Chris Paddack) takes the mound for the Twins. Fraley will give up his spot in the lineup to Santiago Espinal, who starts at third base while Christian Encarnacion-Strand shifts across the diamond to first base and Spencer Steer picks up a start in the corner outfield.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Guardians.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Logan Allen on the bump for Cleveland, Fraley will take a seat for the series finale along with fellow left-handed hitters Gavin Lux and Will Benson. Fraley had started in right field in each of the Reds' last four games, going 5-for-12 with a home run, two walks, four runs, three RBI and a stolen base.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Left-hander DL Hall is opening the game for the Brewers, so the lefty-hitting Fraley will begin the contest on the bench but could be a candidate to enter the contest once Milwaukee turns the ball over to right-handed bulk reliever Quinn Priester. Since returning from the injured list Friday, Fraley has gone 1-for-11 with a home run and three walks.

Fraley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley extended the Reds' lead to 6-0 with a 400-foot blast in the sixth inning. It was an encouraging sign after the outfielder missed three weeks with a calf injury, and he'll look to solidify a firm platoon role against righties. His season line now sits at .210/.326/.395 with four homers, 11 RBI, 13 runs scored and three steals across 95 plate appearances.

Fraley (calf) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 30-year-old has been sidelined the past three weeks due to a calf injury but is ready to rejoin the Reds after a four-game rehab stint with Triple-A Louisville. Fraley has yet to get on track this season with a .205/.319/.359 slash line in 28 big-league games, but he could reclaim a strong-side platoon role in the outfield now that he's healthy.

Fraley (calf) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-4 for Triple-A Louisville on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley began a rehab assignment that's expected to last at least four games before he's re-evaluated, per MLB.com. Prior to suffering a calf injury, Fraley was the starting right fielder for the Reds against right-handers, but it's not clear what his role might be when he returns given how well Will Benson has played in his absence.

Fraley (calf) began a rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville on Saturday, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sore calf has kept Fraley on the injured list for the past two weeks, but he seems to be nearing the end of his recovery and will play in a few minor-league games before rejoining the Reds. Manager Terry Francona said Monday that the goal is for Fraley to return early next week, so the 29-year-old could be activated ahead of Cincinnati's upcoming series in Kansas City.

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that he's hoping Fraley (calf) will be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list early next week, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley tweaked his left calf nearly two weeks ago and appears to be making progress with his recovery. It's not clear whether the Reds will ask him to play in rehab games before returning, nor is it certain that Fraley will reclaim his job as the team's primary right fielder from the hot-hitting Will Benson once healthy.

The Reds placed Fraley on the 10-day injured list Saturday with left calf tenderness, retroactive to Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley has sat out each of the Reds' last three games due to his calf, and he'll now miss at least another week as he moves to the IL. It doesn't seem like he'll need to miss more than the minimum amount of time, though the team hasn't confirmed any sort of timeline. Connor Joe was added to the active roster in a corresponding move to replenish Cincinnati's outfield depth.
