Fraley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
With the Mariners opposing a lefty starting pitcher (Nestor Cortes) in the series opener, the lefty-hitting Fraley will hit the bench for a second straight day. The Mariners appear content to deploy Fraley in the strong side of a platoon in left field with the righty-hitting Dylan Moore, who will get the starting nod Thursday.

Fraley isn't starting Wednesday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley had returned to the lineup in each of the last two games, but he'll get a breather after he went 3-for-7 with a double, two runs, two RBI, a stolen base, two walks and a strikeout. Dylan Moore will take over in left field and bat ninth.

Fraley went 2-for-4 with a walk, a steal, two RBI and a run in Monday's 8-2 win over the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Activated from the COVID-19 list earlier in the day, Fraley showed no signs of rust or fatigue despite having been sidelined since mid-July. The 26-year-old should see consistent playing time at least until Kyle Lewis (knee) is back in action, and Fraley's .246/.416/.441 slash line on the season with seven homers, eight steals, 25 RBI and 19 runs through 41 games offers solid fantasy value on a per-game basis.

Fraley (illness) is 1-for-7 with two walks and two RBI over two rehab games with Triple-A Tacoma.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder is recovering from a bout with COVID-19, which led to his placement on the specialized injured list July 18. Now having logged a handful of at-bats to aid in reestablishing his timing, it remains to be seen if Fraley will be activated at some point during the weekend series against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis
Fraley has been on the COVID-19 injured list since June 18 after testing positive for the virus, and he's cleared the health and safety protocols. The 26-year-old is expected to join Triple-A Tacoma on Tuesday for a rehab stint if he checks out fine during Monday's workout.

Fraley (COVID-19) is feeling better, but he will remain away from the team until at least July 26, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley is currently in southern California due to a positive COVID-19 test. However, he is feeling better and can rejoin the team within the next few days. Even so, Fraley will need time to ramp back up, so he it's possible that he is sidelined until the final days of July or early August.

Mariners manager Scott Servais confirmed that Fraley's placement on the injured list Sunday was the result of a positive COVID-19 test, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The skipper noted that Fraley has experienced symptoms of the virus, so the outfielder could require a longer recovery period than most other players who have been placed on the COVID-19-related IL this season. Dillon Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move, and he could vie with Shed Long and Jake Bauers for two available spots in the Mariners' everyday outfield. Top prospect Jarred Kelenic looks to be the only Mariners outfielder locked into a regular role after being promoted from Tacoma coming out of the All-Star break.

The Mariners placed Fraley (illness) on the 10-day injured list Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
An illness has kept Fraley out of the lineup since the All-Star break and will now sideline him for another week or so. The outfielder had fallen into a cold stretch before the break, going just 3-for-25 with two RBI in his last eight games. Dillon Thomas was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma in a corresponding move.

Fraley (illness) is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder will miss a third consecutive game with a non-COVID illness. It's unclear whether he'll be in the lineup for Tuesday's series opener in Colorado. Jarred Kelenic is starting in center field and batting seventh Sunday.
