Fraley went 2-for-3 with two walks, three runs and three steals during Sunday's 11-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley had a great day on the bases, scoring from second on an infield hit in the fourth, then swiping two bags in the fifth prior to coming home on a dinger by Nick Martini. Fraley added one more steal and run scored in the seventh to cap off a big day. Sunday marked Fraley's sixth multi-hit game in just eight starts on the young season. He's hitting .424 in 33 at-bats with 11 runs scored and four steals.

Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Nationals.

Fraley started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over Washington on Opening Day.
EDGE Analysis
As usual, Fraley got the start with a right-hander throwing for the Nationals. The left-handed hitting outfielder had just 41 plate appearances against lefties in 2023. Fraley can be useful in a less-than full-time role, as evidenced by the 21 stolen bases he had last year in 111 games.

Fraley (groin) is starting in right field and batting cleanup in Wednesday's split-squad game against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley exited Monday's Cactus League contest after fouling a ball off himself, but he's back in the lineup Wednesday after sitting out one day. The 28-year-old posted career highs with 15 home runs and 21 steals in just 380 plate appearances last season, and he should fill a platoon role for the Reds in 2024, though TJ Friedl's fractured wrist should create more opportunities early on.

Reds manager David Bell said Tuesday that Fraley (groin) is expected to be fine, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley had to be pulled from Monday's Cactus League game against the Giants after a foul tip struck him in the groin area. While it was no doubt a painful incident for the outfielder, it's not a long-term concern.
