Fraley will start in right field and bat leadoff Saturday against the Pirates.

EDGE Analysis

This marks Fraley's sixth consecutive start atop the order against right-handed pitching, and he was in the two hole against the last lefty the team faced. Fraley went 0-for-4 in the series opener but is still slashing a healthy .340/.393/.620 with four home runs in 16 games since returning from the injured list. He looks primed to play a prominent role for this stripped-down Reds club over the final six-plus weeks of the season.

Fraley went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday's 11-4 loss to the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley has left the yard in both of the first two games of the series and is now slashing .405/.458/.738 with four home runs, nine RBI, nine runs and 5:4 BB:K in 14 games since coming off the 60-day injured list July 29. The 27-year-old will start in left field and bat second in Wednesday's series finale, and he looks like he'll be a mainstay in the Cincinnati lineup over the final six weeks of the season.

Fraley went 2-for-5 with a double and a run scored in Sunday's 8-5 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley doubled and scored during the Reds' four-run second frame. The 27-year-old caught fire this weekend, going 5-for-9 with three runs scored and two doubles over the last two games. He improved his season slash line to .247/.330/.416 with seven extra-base hits through 27 games.

Fraley will be on the bench Thursday versus the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley will get a breather in Thursday's Field of Dreams Game as the Reds take on the Cubs and left-hander Drew Smyly. Albert Almora will replace him in left field and bat sixth against Chicago.

Fraley went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Tuesday's 6-2 loss to the Mets.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley launched a two-run shot off Carlos Carrasco in the top of the seventh inning, providing all the offense for the Reds in the contest. The long ball was his third of the season and second in eight games since returning from the 60-day injured list July 29. Since returning to the lineup, Fraley has gone 9-for-22 with two homers, five RBI and three runs scored over eight games.

Fraley will be on the bench against lefty Eric Lauer and the Brewers on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley returned from the 60-day injured list last Friday. Over his last six games, he's started against three righties while sitting against three lefties, an arrangement which will likely persist down the stretch. Albert Almora and Aristides Aquino will handle the outfield corners in his absence.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins.

EDGE Analysis

After being activated from the 60-day injured list Friday, Fraley made consecutive starts to close out the weekend series with the Orioles and went 4-for-7 with a home run, three RBI and an additional RBI in those contests. The lefty-hitting Fraley could be in line for a large-side platoon role in the corner outfield for the rest of the season, but he'll be on the bench for the second day in a row while the Marlins bring another lefty (Braxton Garrett) to the hill. Albert Almora and Aristides Aquino will flank Nick Senzel in center field.

Fraley went 3-for-4 with a two-run home run, an RBI single and an additional run scored in an 8-2 win over the Orioles on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley made a big impact in his first game back from the 60-day injured list with a knee injury. The 27-year-old left-handed batter belted a two-run home run en route to a three-hit and three-RBI performance. With fellow outfielder Tyler Naquin recently traded to the Mets, there should be plenty of playing time for Fraley down the stretch.

Fraley isn't starting Friday against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday, but he'll take on a bench role during his first game following his activation. It's not yet clear how much playing time Fraley will see, particularly once Albert Almora (illness) returns from the COVID-19 injured list. Matt Reynolds is starting in right field and batting seventh Friday.

Fraley (knee/toe) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley hasn't played in a major-league game since April 30 and suffered a setback in his recovery during a rehab assignment in late May. However, he resumed a rehab assignment July 13 and hit .290 with five runs, three RBI and a stolen base over nine games. The 27-year-old should have a chance to carve out more playing time in the Reds' outfield after Tyler Naquin was traded to the Mets on Thursday.
