Mon Mar 20 2023 | 09:37 | Jake Fraley Should Be Fine After Fouling Ball Off Leg |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (leg) is expected to be fine after fouling a ball off the middle of his leg Sunday's spring game against the Brewers. According to Reds manager Dave Bell, Fraley should be fine. The 27-year-old exited Sunday's game early after fouling a pitch off his leg, but the ball missed his knee. He appears to have avoided a significant injury and is day-to-day. Fraley has had a torrid spring, hitting .306 with three home runs, 12 RBI, six runs, and four stolen bases across 36 at-bats. Fraley should be available for the Reds on Opening Day and is a solid pick at his current ADP of 266 in NFBC leagues. |

Mon Mar 13 2023 | 13:00 | Jake Fraley Enjoys Big Game Saturday |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley enjoyed a big day at the plate Saturday as part of an 8-7 Cactus League loss to the Texas Rangers. Fraley clubbed a fourth-inning two-run home run while he added a double and drove in three runs on the afternoon. The long ball was Fraley's second of the spring, and he's now hitting .375 with three stolen bases and four walks against five strikeouts across 24 at-bats this spring. Acquired from the Seattle Mariners prior to the 2022 season, the 27-year-old hit 12 homers with four steals and an .812 OPS across an injury-shortened 68-game season with the Reds last year. Fraley's 121 wRC+ from a season ago represents a figure 21% above the league average as he looks to put together a healthy and productive season in the corner outfield spots for the rebuilding Reds in 2023. |

Thu Sep 15 2022 | 16:18 | Jake Fraley In The Cleanup Spot Against Cardinals |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (head) is back in the starting lineup on Thursday against the St. Louis Cardinals and right-hander Miles Mikolas, serving as the designated hitter and batting cleanup. It's the first time that Fraley will return to the lineup since being drilled in the head by a pitch in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader. The 27-year-old was quickly able to pass through the league's concussion protocol and is in a great spot to produce some counting stats on Thursday. He's been much better against right-handed pitchers this year, too, hitting .263 (36-for-137) with nine of his 10 home runs and 20 RBI in 52 games. Fraley has just four hits in 26 at-bats against lefties. |

Wed Sep 14 2022 | 11:28 | Jake Fraley Out Against Pirates |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (head) is out of the starting lineup on Wednesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Fraley was forced from the first game of a doubleheader on Tuesday against the Pirates after he was hit in the helmet by a fastball from Manny Banuelos. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter didn't play in Game 2 and remains out on Wednesday, but the good news is he hasn't displayed any concussion symptoms. Consider Fraley to be day-to-day for now. With Fraley out again on Wednesday, TJ Friedl will get the start in left field and will bat leadoff against Pirates right-hander Roansy Contreras. Friedl, who also bats from the left side, has been better against lefties in a small sample size this year, but five of his six homers have come against right-handers. |

Tue Sep 13 2022 | 16:22 | Jake Fraley Leaves Game 1 Early Tuesday |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (head) left Game 1 of a doubleheader early on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pirates when he was hit in the head by a fastball from Manny Banuelos. Fraley was down on the ground for a bit before he was able to get up and walk off the field under his owner power. The 27-year-old left-handed hitter will likely be put through the league's concussion protocol and is unlikely to be in the starting lineup for Game 2. Fraley went 0-for-2 with a walk before leaving the game and was replaced by Stuart Fairchild. Coming into Tuesday's doubleheader, Fraley was hitting .248/.341/.484 with an .825 OPS, 10 home runs, 23 RBI, 30 runs scored and three stolen bases in 52 games for Cincy. |

Tue Sep 6 2022 | 14:50 | Jake Fraley Not Starting On Tuesday |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley isn't in the team's starting lineup on Tuesday for a matchup with the Chicago Cubs and left-hander Wade Miley. Fraley is hitting .245 with a .333 on-base percentage in his first season with the Reds, adding eight home runs and three stolen bases in 159 plate appearances. Cincinnati will instead start Stuart Fairchild in left field against Miley and the Cubs. Fairchild is batting seventh on Tuesday. The 26-year-old is hitting .250 with a .341 on-base percentage and four home runs in 41 plate appearances in the Majors for the Reds. He's worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. |

Fri Sep 2 2022 | 14:46 | Jake Fraley Sitting Against Lefty |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley is not in the starting lineup on Friday against Colorado Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland. Fraley is just 2-for-22 (.091) against left-handers on the season, but he's hit an impressive .307 (27-for-88) with six home runs, 16 RBI, 18 runs scored and two stolen bases in 27 games since returning from the injured list on July 30. The 27-year-old should continue to be an asset against right-handed pitching in deeper leagues down the stretch. Aristides Aquino is starting in right field and is hitting sixth on Friday against Freeland. Aquino is hitting just .185/.226/.292 with four home runs, 18 RBI, 16 runs scored and two stolen bases in his 168 at-bats this season, so he'll be a deep DFS sleeper play. |

Sun May 29 2022 | 11:21 | Jake Fraley Scratched With Toe Injury |
Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said that outfielder Jake Fraley (toe, knee) was scratched from the lineup while on a minor league rehab assignment with Triple-A Louisville on Saturday with a toe issue. Fraley has been on the injured list since May 1 with right knee inflammation, and now he's dealing with another ailment. The 27-year-old has gone 2-for-11 with a home run and a stolen base in the first four games of his rehab assignment, but it's unclear when he might return to the Reds now. Fraley had only five hits in 43 at-bats with a homer and three RBI in 15 games with the Reds before his injury, and he won't be guaranteed regular playing time in the outfield when he's activated from the injured list. |

Mon May 2 2022 | 08:25 | Jake Fraley Lands On Injured List With Knee Inflammation |
The Cincinnati Reds placed outfielder Jake Fraley (knee) on the 10-day injured list on Sunday. He is dealing with right knee inflammation. It's an injury that's been nagging him for awhile now as it caused him to miss some time in mid-April. Fellow outfielder TJ Friedl was called up from Triple-A to fill Fraley's roster spot. Fraley is off to a slow start to his Reds career. Over 15 games, he's slashing .116/.208/.233 with one home run, two doubles, three RBI and five runs. |

Wed Apr 27 2022 | 15:04 | Jake Fraley On The Bench Wednesday |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley isn't starting on Wednesday. The outfielder is hitting .143 with a .231 on-base percentage, a home run, and a stolen base in 39 plate appearances this season. He started at designated hitter on Tuesday but will head to the bench as the Reds take on the San Diego Padres and left-hander MacKenzie Gore. Brandon Drury is starting at designated hitter instead on Wednesday. Drury is batting .206 with a .270 on-base percentage and a pair of home runs in 37 plate appearances. He's batting second against the Padres. |

Mon Apr 25 2022 | 09:01 | Jake Fraley Could Return To The Lineup Tuesday |
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (knee) has been dealing with a knee injury lately, according to C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic. Rosecrans reports that Fraley was fully available off the bench for Sunday's game, though he didn't make an appearance in the game. There's a chance he could be back in the lineup on Tuesday. Fraley has struggled out of the gate this year, slashing just .129/.229/.258 over 11 games. He has some competition for playing time in the Reds outfield, so he'll need to get things together soon in order to continue to see steady playing time. |

Wed Sep 29 2021 | 11:15 | Jake Fraley Drives In Two Against Oakland |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley got another start against the Oakland Athletics and right-hander Chris Bassitt Tuesday, and he came through by going 1-for-3 with a double, a walk, and two RBI. Fraley has struggled since the All-Star break, slashing .168/.273/.284 in 95 at-bats as opposed to .237/.409/.439 in his 114 at-bats before the break. Still, he's managed nine homers and 10 steals over the course of the year, a power/speed combination that could make him a sneaky fantasy value in future seasons if he finds himself with a bit of playing time. |

Mon Sep 27 2021 | 12:26 | Jake Fraley Drives In Three, Steals A Base |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley came close to hitting a dramatic grand slam against the Los Angeles Angels Sunday, but he instead settled for a bases-clearing double off the top of the wall. He was 1-for-4 in the game with three RBI, and he also added his 10th stolen base of the season. Fraley has only collected 205 at-bats this season, but with nine homers and 10 steals, he's shown off plenty of fantasy potential should he manage more full-time playing time in 2022, however unlikely that scenario is. He should be left on the waiver wire for the remainder of this season. |

Sat Sep 18 2021 | 19:02 | Jake Fraley On The Bench Saturday |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley is on the bench on Saturday. The Mariners will take on the Kansas City Royals and left-handed starter Kris Bubic but will do so without Fraley in the lineup. The outfielder is batting .213 with a .353 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and nine stolen bases in 232 plate appearances this season. Dylan Moore is batting ninth and starting in left field in place of Fraley. The 28-year-old is hitting .174 with a .271 on-base percentage, 12 home runs, and 20 stolen bases in 339 plate appearances this season. Fantasy managers are probably better off looking elsewhere for streaming help. |

Sat Sep 18 2021 | 00:42 | Jake Fraley Doubles Friday |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley recorded his first extra-base hit since coming off the injured list in Friday's win over the Kansas City Royals, going 2-for-3 with a double and a walk. Fraley has started all three games since returning, and now has a .736 OPS with nine homers and nine steals in 10 attempts for the season. His .383 slugging percentage is a weak spot, but Fraley is a solid contributor in all other areas as long as he's receiving playing time. Fantasy managers could do worse than double-digit homers and steals off the waiver wire this last in the year. |

Tue Sep 14 2021 | 18:40 | Jake Fraley Reinstated From Injured List |
The Seattle Mariners reinstated outfielder Jake Fraley (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list on Tuesday. Fellow outfielder Jose Marmolejos was designated for assignment to make room on the active roster. Fraley has logged 220 plate appearances for the Mariners this season, batting .213 with a .359 on-base percentage, nine home runs, and nine stolen bases. Fantasy managers looking for outfield help in leagues where on-base percentage is part of the scoring should consider adding Fraley. |

Sun Aug 29 2021 | 08:32 | Jake Fraley Lands On Injured List With Shoulder Inflammation |
The Seattle Mariners placed outfielder Jake Fraley (shoulder) on the 10-day injured list due to right shoulder inflammation on Saturday. Relief pitcher Anthony Misiewicz (forearm) was also placed on the injured list. The team called up pitchers Wyatt Mills and Jimmy Yacabonis to fill the empty roster spots. Fraley had been really struggling at the plate over the last month. He slashed just .172/.254/.297 in August. However, he's shown some promising flashes this year. Over 62 games on the year, he has slashed .213/.359/.388 with nine home runs, nine stolen bases, 30 RBI and 23 runs. We don't know much in terms of the severity of his shoulder inflammation yet, but we should get a better idea of his expected recovery timeline soon. |

Fri Aug 27 2021 | 12:29 | Jake Fraley Homers In Loss Thursday |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley had a strong day at the plate against the Kansas City Royals Thursday, going 2-for-3 with a home run, a walk, and three RBI. The two-run shot was his ninth of the season and his first since August 12. In just 176 at-bats this year, Fraley has also added nine steals, making him a cheap all-around option in deep leagues. He's receiving regular playing time at all three outfield spots since coming off the injured list August 2. |

Sun Aug 15 2021 | 11:30 | Jake Fraley Steals Ninth Base |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley added another steal to his resume Saturday, swiping second base against the Toronto Blue Jays. The theft gives him nine on the season. Fraley went 1-for-3 with a walk from the ninth spot. Fraley has been very solid this season when he's been healthy, with an .803 OPS, eight homers, and those nine steals in just 145 at-bats. That projects out to a 30-30 season over 600 at-bats, though it's unlikely he would actually keep the pace. At this point, the only thing holding him back from being an add in all leagues is his spot at the bottom of the Seattle batting order. |

Thu Aug 12 2021 | 20:46 | Jake Fraley Hits Eighth Homer Thursday |
Seattle Mariners outfielder Jake Fraley went deep for the eighth time this season in Thursday's matchup against the Texas Rangers. It was his only hit in three at-bats. Fraley has been on a slide over his last 15 games with just a .562 OPS in that time, but this home run gives him eight homers and eight steals on the year with a .389 on-base percentage. He's accomplished that in just 141 at-bats, hinting at the upside and versatility Fraley could offer if he were on the field more often. He's worth a look in deeper fantasy leagues as long as he's playing regularly. |
