Fraley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Fraley will sit for the second time in the Reds' first four games of the season, with both absences coming when Cincinnati has opposed left-handed starting pitchers. Tyler Stephenson will get a day off from behind the plate and will replace Fraley as Cincinnati's designated hitter.

Fraley will be on the bench against lefty Rich Hill and the Pirates on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley batted third while serving as the designated hitter in the opener, reaching base three times. He started only four times against a southpaw all year last year, and the fact that he's on the bench against the first lefty of this season suggests that he'll remain strictly a platoon player for now. Kevin Newman will be Saturday's designated hitter.
