Fraley (hamstring) has advanced to hitting in a cage and throwing on the field, Shannon Drayer of 710 ESPN Seattle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley appeared in just five games this season before getting shut down with a strained left hamstring. His expected return date remains unclear, but he's at least trending in the right direction.

Fraley (hamstring) is still about a week away from participating in baseball activities, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Kyle Lewis (knee) is on the injured list and Taylor Trammell has a 50 percent strikeout rate on the season, so Fraley is missing out on a prime opportunity for playing time. It sounds like a late-April return would be the best-case scenario.

Fraley was officially diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain Thursday, but he remains without a definitive timeline for a return for the time being, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com reports. "[Fraley] will be out for a little while, [but it] was better news than maybe what I was expecting, based on what he said right after the injury," manager Scott Servais said.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley is already on the 10-day injured list, but Thursday's news did serve as somewhat of a relief based on initial fears he'd be out much longer. During Fraley's absence, left field will likely be manned by a number of players, including utility options Jose Marmolejos and Sam Haggerty, as well as the recently promoted Braden Bishop.

Fraley (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley is slated to undergo an MRI on Thursday, and the team could have a better timetable for his return once the results are known. Braden Bishop was recalled in a corresponding move, while Jose Marmolejos and Sam Haggerty could see an uptick in playing time in the outfield while Fraley is sidelined.

Fraley (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Seattle gave Fraley an initial diagnosis of a left hamstring strain after he exited Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the White Sox with the injury. The MRI should provide clarity on the grade of Fraley's strain, but the 26-year-old appears likely to land on the 10-day injured list regardless of the extent of his injury. Fraley's absence could open up more work in the outfield for Jose Marmolejos or Sam Haggerty.

Fraley was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with a left hamstring strain, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old suffered the injury on a diving catch in left field during the fifth inning, and he was replaced in the field for the following frame. Fraley went 0-for-2 with one run and one stolen base before leaving the game, and he should be considered day-to-day.

Fraley will start in left field and bat seventh Thursday against the Giants.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty-hitting Fraley looks like he'll begin the season as at least a strong-side platoon player for the Mariners in the outfield after Kyle Lewis' (knee) placement on the injured list opened up a starting role. Fraley's .427 OPS and 35.7 percent strikeout rate through his 70 big-league plate appearances wouldn't seem to hint at much fantasy upside, but the 25-year-old showcased an intriguing blend of power and speed in his last minor-league season in 2019. Cutting down on the strikeouts will be imperative for him to fully realize his potential.

Fraley could begin the season as Seattle's fourth outfielder after manager Scott Servais announced Saturday that Taylor Trammell made the Opening Day roster and will start in left field, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley was unable to hold off the rookie during spring training, and Trammell is now poised to make his big-league debut for Seattle. However, Kyle Lewis' availability for Opening Day is up in the air due to a knee injury, which could open up some playing time early on. Trammell is expected to start in center field if Lewis is forced to miss any time, which could create some opportunities in left field for Fraley.

Fraley, trying to hold off Taylor Trammell for the starting left field job, has reached safely in each of his last five spring training games.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley finally got his spring training average over the Mendoza Line on Sunday against the Brewers with a 2-for-3 day that included a double and a stolen base. The 25-year-old has hits in three of his last four games overall as well, making his current stretch at the plate his most productive of the Cactus League slate. However, it may be a case of too little, too late, considering Trammell (.278 spring average) continues to outperform him and Fraley is also still struggling with consistent contact (13 strikeouts in 42 spring plate appearances) in a manner very similar to that of his first two regular-season big-league stints (35.7 percent strikeout rate over 70 PAs).

Fraley (undisclosed) went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in a Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley returned to action after sitting out Sunday's game following a collision with the outfield wall Saturday. The 25-year-old isn't exactly in a position to miss any time at the moment -- impressive prospect Taylor Trammell continues to push him for the starting left field job with his strong play thus far this spring, while Fraley now has a .136 average (3-for-22) across 11 spring games.
