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.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis

Fraley is not in Sunday's starting lineup against the Mets.

Fraley started in right field and went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley fueled a comeback from an early 2-0 deficit when he led off the third inning with a double and scored the Reds' first run. He later singled in the go-ahead run. This was Fraley's first start since coming off the injured list prior to the All-Star break, as Saturday was the first time Cincinnati faced a right-handed starter. He's expected to eventually undergo shoulder surgery to repair a partially torn labrum but will attempt to play through the injury the rest of the year. That may change if the Reds fall out of the hunt for the postseason, but they've won two consecutive games coming out of the break and are 1.5 games out of the final wild-card slot in the National League.

Fraley (shoulder) drew a walk as a pinch hitter in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Though the Reds faced a right-handed starter (Bradley Blalock) on Saturday, the left-handed-hitting Fraley wasn't included in the lineup in his first game back from the 10-day injured list. Instead of Fraley, the Reds went with another left-handed hitter in Will Benson in right field. The Reds face lefty Austin Gomber on Sunday, and manager Terry Francona could go with the right-handed-hitting Connor Joe in right field over Fraley and Benson.

The Reds reinstated Fraley (shoulder) from the injured list Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
A partial tear of Fraley's right labrum has kept him sidelined since late June, but he's been cleared to return to the Reds after going 2-for-11 with a run scored during a three-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville. The 30-year-old should reclaim his role as Cincinnati's primary right fielder against right-handers now that he's healthy. Christian Encarnacion-Strand was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.
