Fraley is slated to have his sprained right thumb in a splint for approximately two more weeks and then will undergo multiple weeks of physical therapy, Greg Johns of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The promising prospect should still be cleared well ahead of spring training, when he 's expected to make a significant push for a roster spot. Fraley injured the thumb Sept. 7, cutting short what would have been an extended audition over the final month.

Fraley has been shut down for the season due to sprained ligaments in his right thumb, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Things seemed to be trending in this direction, and now we have confirmation that the MRI revealed ligament damage. Fraley hit .150 with zero home runs, zero steals and a 14:0 K:BB in 41 MLB plate appearances after impressing at Double-A and Triple-A this season. Those struggles in a small sample at the MLB level should make him a cheap potential source of power and speed in 2020 drafts. Fraley is the favorite to break camp as the Mariners' starting center fielder.
