Fraley drew a pair of walks and picked up two steals in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley started the game on the bench with left-hander Patrick Corbin on the mound before walking twice as a pinch hitter and swiping his 14th and 15th bags. The 28-year-old Fraley has been productive despite his platoon role, going 21-for-60 (.350) with six homers and eight steals in his last 20 games. Overall, he's slashing an impressive .274./359/.474 with 11 homers, 50 RBI and 30 runs scored through 245 plate appearances this season.

The left fielder had two hits on the afternoon and is now batting .375 in June to go along with four long balls, nine RBI and 11 runs scored. He's also recorded at least two hits in four of his last eight games.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley and fellow left-handed-hitting outfielders TJ Friedl and Will Benson will move to the bench for the series opener while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for the series opener. After going 2-for-4 with a home run, a walk and three RBI in his return to the lineup for Sunday's extra-inning win over Houston following a brief stay on the injured list, Fraley should remain a fixture in the lineup when the Reds face right-handed pitching.

Fraley (wrist) expects to return from the injured list when first eligible Sunday, MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Reds return home from a road trip Monday, but Fraley seems optimistic he'll be back for Sunday's series finale in Houston. Fraley has been on the shelf for the last week-plus with a small muscle tear in his right wrist, but he's feeling better after being given a cortisone injection.

Fraley was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a right wrist contusion.
EDGE Analysis
He will be eligible to return June 18 in Houston. TJ Friedl was activated from the injured list in a corresponding move, and there will still be playing time available for at least one of Stuart Fairchild or Will Benson most days. Fraley's career has been plagued by injuries, as he has never played in more than 78 MLB games in a season since debuting in 2019.

Fraley (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley will remain on the bench for a third straight game Friday versus left-hander Jordan Montgomery. It's unclear whether he's available off the bench or not as a potential pinch hitter with his wrist injury, but Jonathan India will draw the start at designated hitter and bat third against St. Louis.
