Fraley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Fraley will hit the bench for the second game in a row, with his absence Monday most likely being the result of the Pirates bringing southpaw Bailey Falter to the hill. Fraley owns a modest .655 OPS overall in June, but that should be enough for him to retain a regular spot in the lineup against right-handed pitching while the Reds continue to get hit hard by the injury bug. Starting outfielder TJ Friedl (hamstring) joined Christian Encarnacion-Strand (wrist) and Matt McLain (shoulder) on the injured list Monday, while Will Benson (elbow) is day-to-day.

Fraley isn't in the Reds' lineup for Sunday's game against Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley will get a breather versus Zack Kelly and the Red Sox after going 3-for-8 across the first two games of the series. Spencer Steer, Stuart Fairchild and Will Benson will start across Cincinnati's outfield while Fraley rests.

Fraley went 2-for-4 with a double and a stolen base in Friday's 6-5 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Fraley has been helpful for fantasy teams with 11 steals in 53 games, and he's hit safely in 13 of his last 14 starts, going 17-for-50 (.340). The run production and extra-base power are still missing, however. Fraley has just nine RBI and a .084 ISO through 156 at-bats.

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.
