Fraley is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game in Atlanta due to left calf tenderness, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he didn't start in Tuesday's game, Fraley appeared as a pinch hitter and remained in the game to play right field, and he evidently must have hurt his calf at some point during the contest. His absence from Wednesday's lineup will mark the first time this season he hasn't started versus a righty. Fraley is being viewed as day-to-day, but he'll undergo an MRI as the Reds look to determine whether he's dealing with a calf strain, which would likely require a stint on the injured list.

Fraley went 1-for-2 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and two walks against Washington in a loss Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley didn't start in any of the Reds' previous three games since the opponent started a left-handed pitcher in each of those contests, but he made an impact in his return to the lineup Saturday. The veteran outfielder walked and scored in his first plate appearance and belted a solo homer in the sixth inning, though his efforts weren't enough to lead his team to a win. Fraley's platoon role is a hindrance to his fantasy value, and he came into Saturday in a slump that saw him go 1-for-16 over his previous seven games, though he did steal a pair of bases and notch a 4:3 BB:K during that span.

Fraley is out of the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader with the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty Steven Matz on the bump for St. Louis, the left-handed-hitting Fraley will give way to Blake Dunn in right field for the nightcap. Fraley went 0-for-2 with a walk in the Reds' 6-0 loss in the first game of the day, bringing his batting average down to .200 for the season.

Fraley was a late scratch from Monday's lineup against the Cardinals due to a right quadriceps contusion, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley was originally slated to start in right field Monday, but he was removed from the lineup with an undisclosed injury, which is now understood to be a quadriceps issue. The outfielder can be considered day-to-day for the time being and Blake Dunn would stand to see an increase in workload if Fraley is forced to miss any action moving forward.
