Fraley went 3-for-5 with a double and a grand slam in Thursday's 10-inning loss to the Mariners.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley wound up a triple shy of a cycle Thursday. The 29-year-old outfielder capped a three-hit day with a go-ahead grand slam off Eduard Bazardo in the eighth inning, his first homer of the year, which looked to be the deciding blow before Seattle scored twice to tie the game in the ninth. Fraley, who'd been mired in a 2-for-12 slump in six games coming into Thursday, is now batting .234 with a .642 OPS, five RBI, five runs scored and a stolen base through 50 plate appearances this season.

Fraley is not in the lineup for Friday's contest against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
It's southpaw Bailey Falter on the bump for Pittsburgh, so the left-handed hitting Fraley will grab a seat. Blake Dunn is in right field and batting second for the Reds.

Fraley (side) is starting in right field and batting eighth Tuesday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old was scratched from Monday's starting nine due to left side pain but is back in the lineup for Tuesday's contest. Fraley has yet to get on track at the plate this season and has gone 4-for-27 with one double through eight games.

Fraley was scratched from Monday's lineup against the Giants due to left side pain.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley was originally slated to start in right field and bat eighth, but he will now take a seat. It's unclear what exact injury he's dealing with, but in the meantime, Blake Dunn will slide over to right field while Jacob Hurtubise enters the lineup in left field and bats eighth in the series opener with San Francisco.

Fraley isn't in the lineup for Friday's game against Milwaukee.
EDGE Analysis
Back-to-back games against opposing left-handed starters will mean back-to-back days off for Fraley, who owns just a .504 OPS against southpaws for his career. Blake Dunn will fill in as Cincinnati's right fielder again Friday.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Fraley will grab a seat on the bench to begin Thursday's contest while the lefty-throwing Nestor Cortes toes the slab for Milwaukee. Blake Dunn will pick up a start in right field as a result and bat sixth.

Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Fraley will head to the bench for the series finale while the Giants send southpaw Robbie Ray to the hill. Santiago Espinal will pick up the start in right field in place of Fraley, who started in the first two contests of the series and went hitless in seven at-bats.

Fraley went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's spring game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley launched his first homer and stole his first base in Cactus League action Sunday. At the very least, he'll be in the lineup against right-handers this season; the outfielder has a .504 OPS in 229 career plate appearances against southpaws. If healthy, Fraley's in line for 110-120 games, which is enough for him to post 20-plus steals, as he's done in each of the last two seasons.

The Reds and Fraley avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.125 million contract Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
It was Fraley's second year of arbitration eligibility. The 29-year-old reached 20 stolen bases in 2024 but fell off to just five home runs over a career-high 116 games. He should be a strong-side platoon player again for Cincinnati in 2025.

Fraley is absent from the lineup in Thursday's contest versus Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Southpaw Chris Sale is on the bump for Atlanta, so Fraley will begin the game on the bench. Amed Rosario will patrol right field for the Reds in Thursday's series finale.
