Fraley isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Milwaukee.

EDGE Analysis

Back-to-back games against opposing left-handed starters will mean back-to-back days off for Fraley, who owns just a .504 OPS against southpaws for his career. Blake Dunn will fill in as Cincinnati's right fielder again Friday.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Fraley will grab a seat on the bench to begin Thursday's contest while the lefty-throwing Nestor Cortes toes the slab for Milwaukee. Blake Dunn will pick up a start in right field as a result and bat sixth.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Fraley will head to the bench for the series finale while the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Santiago Espinal will pick up the start in right field in place of Fraley, who started in the first two contests of the series and went hitless in seven at-bats.

Fraley went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's spring game against the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley launched his first homer and stole his first base in Cactus League action Sunday. At the very least, he'll be in the lineup against right-handers this season; the outfielder has a .504 OPS in 229 career plate appearances against southpaws. If healthy, Fraley's in line for 110-120 games, which is enough for him to post 20-plus steals, as he's done in each of the last two seasons.

The Reds and Fraley avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.125 million contract Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

It was Fraley's second year of arbitration eligibility. The 29-year-old reached 20 stolen bases in 2024 but fell off to just five home runs over a career-high 116 games. He should be a strong-side platoon player again for Cincinnati in 2025.

Fraley is absent from the lineup in Thursday's contest versus Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Southpaw Chris Sale is on the bump for Atlanta, so Fraley will begin the game on the bench. Amed Rosario will patrol right field for the Reds in Thursday's series finale.

Fraley went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Twins.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley continued a recent hot stretch at the plate since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury. After hitting 15 homers last season, Fraley has struggled in the power department, with just five home runs in 2024, but he has two over his last 13 games. The 29-year-old has started each of the Reds last 13 games and has a hit in 11 of those games with a .333 batting average in that span. Fraley picked up his fifth three-hit game of the season and raised his batting average to .280 in the process. 

Fraley went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 1-0 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley continued a recent stretch of larceny, swiping his fourth bag in the last seven contests. The recent surge upped his season total to 20, the second consecutive campaign with at least 20 steals.

Fraley went 2-for-2 with a double, a stolen base and a walk in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley reached base three times in a game for the first time since July 24 in the win over Houston. Fraley picked up his 19th steal of the season, and for the first time in his career he has a steal in three straight games. The 29-year-old is now one steal away from his second consecutive season of 20 or more swipes. He's hitting a respectable .275/.329/.383 for the year but is lacking in the power department with just four homers.

Fraley went 1-for-4 with a walk, a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Wednesday's 12-5 win over Houston.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley got in on the action during the Reds' nine-run first inning, working a walk, stealing a base and scoring the team's fifth run. The swipe was Fraley's 18th of the season and second in as many games.
