Fraley was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a stress fracture in his left fourth toe.
EDGE Analysis
The 28-year-old was unavailable for Friday's contest due to the injury and will be sidelined for at least another nine days, though it's unclear exactly how long Fraley is expected to be sidelined. TJ Hopkins was promoted in a corresponding move, but Stuart Fairchild could also have an increased role for the Reds.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley will hit the bench for the second game in a row while the Cubs bring another southpaw (Drew Smyly) to the hill. Will Benson will slide over from his usual spot in left field to cover right field in Fraley's stead.

Fraley went 3-for-4 with a double, an RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Sunday's 9-0 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley has gone 10-for-34 (.294) with five extra-base hits and two steals over his last nine contests. The outfielder's productive Sunday lifted his slash line to .269/.351/.480 with 15 home runs, 62 RBI, 39 runs scored, 18 steals and 14 doubles through 316 plate appearances this season. He remains on the strong side of a platoon in right field, often batting fourth or fifth versus right-handed pitchers.

Fraley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 6-5 win over the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley's blast off Bobby Miller capped off the Reds' three-run first inning. While Fraley is batting a meager .213 (10-for-47) since the All-Star break, he's tallied four homers and nine RBI in that 13-game span. The outfielder is up to a .264/.348/.476 slash line with 15 homers, 61 RBI, 38 runs scored and 17 stolen bases through 87 contests, primarily in a strong-side platoon role.

Fraley went 1-for-1 with a two-run home run and was hit by a pitch in Tuesday's 11-10 loss to San Francisco.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley gave the Reds an early 2-1 lead in the bottom of the first inning with his 13th home run of the season. In the fifth inning, he was removed for pinch hitter Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who delivered a three-run home run off lefty reliever Sean Manaea for his first hit as a major leaguer. The lefty-swinging Fraley has just 36 plate appearances against southpaws in 2023.

Fraley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley launched his career-high tying 12th home run to give the Reds an early 3-1 lead. He leads the club with 54 RBI. It was the third consecutive game he's batted third -- all against right-handers -- but there should be tweaks to the order after the Reds recalled prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand from Triple-A Louisville. Fraley's playing time will not be affected, but his slot in the order could.

Fraley went 1-for-4 in Saturday's 3-0 loss to Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley's fourth-inning infield single was the Reds' lone hit in what turned out to be the third consecutive shutout loss to the Brewers. He batted out of the three hole for a second straight game, swapping spots with Jonathan India, but it's unclear if that will be a permanent alignment going forward.

Fraley is starting at designated hitter and batting third Friday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley has made 17 previous starts in the three hole this season, but this is the first time he's batted there since late May. He's flip-flopped with Jonathan India, who will move down to the five spot. Fraley has a .914 OPS versus righties this season and will face off against right-hander Corbin Burnes on Friday.

EDGE Analysis
Fraley will head to the bench Sunday with southpaw Wade Miley taking the mound for Milwaukee. Nick Senzel will start in right field and bat seventh.
