Fraley (calf) is back in the lineup for Friday's game against the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley sat out the past couple days after tweaking his calf Tuesday in Atlanta, but he's ready to rejoin the starting nine for Friday's series opener at Houston. The veteran outfielder has gone 2-for-22 in his past 10 contests and has yet to get on track offensively in 2025 with a .678 OPS in 91 plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

Fraley tweaked his left calf Tuesday after entering the game off the bench and will now miss a second straight start.

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.

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.
