Fraley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Padres.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight day, Fraley finds himself on the bench with a right-handed pitcher (Joe Musgrove) on the hill. The Reds haven't indicated that Fraley is nursing an injury, but the outfielder has thus far struggled to bounce back since returning to the lineup after a week-long absence due to an illness. In his first three games back in action, Fraley went 0-for-11 with five strikeouts. If Fraley is unable to show improvement in his subsequent starting opportunities, he could fade into more of a part-time role for Cincinnati.

Fraley (illness) was available off the bench Friday but did not enter a 2-1 loss to Texas, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley returned to the team but was not in the starting lineup against a right-hander, against whom the lefty-hitter typically starts. "He's back," manager David Bell said. "I wanted him to go through a full day of work today and not start him." Bell added that Fraley will be available to start Saturday, when the Reds face right-hander Michael Lorenzen.

Fraley (illness) is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Though Jonathan India will rejoin the lineup as the Reds' designated hitter following a four-game absence due to an illness, Fraley will stick on the bench for a sixth consecutive contest while he's had a slower recovery from an ailment of his own. According to Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, manager David Bell relayed Wednesday that Fraley has been showing improvement, so the Reds are seemingly hopeful that the 28-year-old outfielder will return to action at some point during the weekend series versus the Rangers.

Fraley is not in the Reds' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to an illness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley won't start for a second consecutive game, though he did pinch hit for Jonathan India (illness) in Saturday's contest. Fraley would normally get the start against a right-hander, but he appears to have picked up the bug that India has. Fraley is 1-for-10 over his last four appearances, which has slowed down his otherwise hot start to the season. He's slashing .362/.423/.511 with four doubles, one home run and four RBI over 52 plate appearances while stealing five bases.
