Fraley (ankle) is expected to play Saturday, MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley rolled his ankle during an at-bat in the second inning of Friday's 8-3 loss to the Brewers. Following the game, Reds manager David Bell said Fraley was "fine" and "should be back in there" Saturday. Fraley was replaced Friday by Stuart Fairchild.

Fraley was removed from Friday's game against the Brewers with a sprained left ankle, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley was limping out of the batter's box after grounding out to shortstop in the second inning, and he was eventually pulled during the fourth frame. The severity of his injury isn't immediately clear, though the fact he was able to remain in the game for an additional inning could be an indication that he won't need to miss much time.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Fraley will take a seat for the third game in a row while the Reds face another southpaw (Robbie Ray). Spencer Steer will cover right field while Fraley remains on the bench.

Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Left-hander Kyle Harrison will start on the hill for San Francisco on Saturday, meaning the lefty-hitting Fraley will take a seat on the bench to begin the game. While he rests, Stuart Fairchild will start in right field and bat eighth.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley has a .917 OPS with two homers and two steals in 10 games since the All-Star break, but he'll sit Friday as southpaw Blake Snell takes the mound for San Francisco. Stuart Fairchild will start in right field and bat eighth in the series opener.

Fraley went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run and a walk in Wednesday's 13-4 loss to the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley got the Reds on the board in the fifth inning, but they never mounted much of a comeback push. The outfielder went 12-for-40 (.300) with six extra-base hits, three stolen bases and 10 RBI over 15 contests in July. He's at a .278/.328/.383 slash line, three homers, 19 RBI, 30 runs scored and 14 steals across 250 plate appearances for the year strictly as a strong-side platoon player.

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

EDGE Analysis

Fraley will avoid a matchup with left-hander Justin Steele on Tuesday, giving way to Stuart Fairchild in right field. Fraley is slashing .279/.327/.372 in 245 plate appearances this season.

Fraley went 1-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-1 win over the Cubs.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley reached on a fielder's choice in the second inning, then stole a base and came around to score on a Will Benson home run. Fraley has two steals in his last five games, the same amount he had in his previous 24 games. The 29-year-old will sit often against lefties, and with just two homers and 16 RBI through 76 games, he has to do more in the run-producing categories to be worth a roster spot.

Fraley is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Reds.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley went 0-for-5 with two strikeouts in the first two games of the series but will hit the bench Sunday with lefty Tyler Alexander poised to work as Tampa Bay's primary pitcher. Austin Slater will start in right field and bat eighth in the series finale.

Fraley is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

With a tough lefty (Chris Sale) on the bump for Atlanta, the lefty-hitting Fraley will retreat to the bench for the nightcap. Austin Slater will pick up a start in the corner outfield in place of Fraley, who went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run -- his second of the season -- and a stolen base in Cincinnati's 9-4 win in the first game of the day.
