Fraley is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
With the Rockies sending southpaw Ty Blach to the mound Tuesday, the lefty-hitting Fraley will take a seat Tuesday. With him out of the lineup, Tyler Stephenson will serve as the DH and Luke Maile will start at catcher.

Fraley went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley's double triggered a four-run second inning, putting the Reds on a path to win. He's hit in seven straight games, going 10-for-26 (.385) with two steals, two doubles, one RBI and three runs scored during the streak. While many of his teammates have slumped early in the season -- the Reds' .220 average ranks 29th in MLB -- Fraley leads the club at .295.

Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Saturday's game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
With lefty starter Justin Steele set to toe the slab for Chicago, the lefty-hitting Fraley will step out of the lineup Saturday. His absence will move Tyler Stephenson into the DH role while Luke Maile starts behind the plate, batting ninth.

Fraley went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 5-3 loss to the Cardinals.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley swiped his ninth base of the season while extending a hit streak to five games (6-for-19). He's on pace for a second consecutive 20-steal season but has just seven extra-base hits in 134 plate appearances.

Fraley went 2-for-4 with two singles and a stolen base in Saturday's 3-1 win over the Dodgers. He was picked off and caught stealing on another attempt.
EDGE Analysis
After missing three starts due to a hand injury, Fraley was back in the cleanup spot against right-hander Walker Buehler. Fraley stole a base right away after his single in the first inning, his eighth steal of the campaign, which puts him on pace to surpass 20 stolen bases for a second consecutive season. The power has been severely lacking, however, as he still sits with just one home run and his SLG is down nearly 80 points from a year ago.

Fraley (hand) is starting in right field Saturday versus the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley has missed the Reds' last three games after suffering a bruised hand during Tuesday's contest, though he was used as a pinch runner Thursday. He appears to have fully recovered ahead of Saturday's game and will now look to get hot at the plate after beginning the year with a .692 OPS -- his worst mark since joining the Reds in 2022.

Fraley (hand) is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Dodgers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley hasn't started a game since getting hit in the hand by a pitch Tuesday against San Diego. However, he's been utilized as a pinch runner since sustaining the injury but Fraley is ready to go, per Mark Sheldon of MLB.com, and could enter the game off the bench. Jacob Hurtubise will start in right field and bat ninth Friday.

Fraley (hand) entered Thursday's 6-4 extra-inning loss to the Padres as a pinch runner in the 10th inning.
EDGE Analysis
The outfielder ran for Jeimer Candelario, who had walked, and was presumably only going to be allowed to run the bases had the game continued. The Reds didn't wind up scoring in the extra frame, but the usage suggests Fraley could return to the lineup at some point during a weekend series against the Dodgers.

Fraley plans to test out his injured right hand with some swings Thursday, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
X-rays on Fraley's hand came back clean after he exited Tuesday's contest versus the Padres following a hit by pitch. However, he still has some swelling and will be absent from the lineup Thursday for a second straight day. The outfielder should be considered day-to-day.
