Player Outlook
Acquired from Seattle prior to the 2022 season, Jake Fraley has emerged as a quality platoon outfielder/DH in his two years with Cincinnati. He spent time on the injured list last season with wrist and toe injuries, the latter of which required October surgery to repair. Fraley is expected to be fully ready for the start of spring training in 2024. Reds manager David Bell was rigid in his usage of Fraley, limiting him to a mere four starts and 41 plate appearances against left-handed pitching all season. When he had the platoon advantage, Fraley slashed .268/.348/.467 with all 15 of his home runs. He's done a better job of being aggressive within the strike zone, adding nearly 12 percentage points to his Z-Swing% over the past two years, and the speed element of his game showed up in 2023 in the form of 21 steals in 26 attempts. The fact that he doesn't play against lefty pitching limits his counting-stat upside, but among strict platoon bats in MLB, Fraley is right up there with (or just behind) the best.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Won't start Sunday

    Fraley is not in the Reds' starting lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels due to an illness, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports. Fraley won't start for a second consecutive game, though he did pinch hit for Jonathan India (illness) in Saturday's contest. Fraley would normally get the start against a right-hander, but he appears to have picked up the bug that India has. Fraley is 1-for-10 over his last four appearances, which has slowed down his otherwise hot start to the season. He's slashing .362/.423/.511 with four doubles, one home run and four RBI over 52 plate appearances while stealing five bases.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Logs fourth straight multi-hit game

    Fraley went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI double in Monday's loss to the Mariners. Fraley was caught trying to swipe a bag after stealing three bases Sunday, but he put his power on display with an RBI double in the fourth inning and a solo homer to right field in the seventh. He's recorded two hits in four straight contests, going 8-for-16 (.500) with seven runs and four RBI over that span. Fraley routinely sits against left-handed pitching, but he's been very productive when in the lineup, slashing .432/.462/.622 with 12 runs, four RBI and four steals through 39 plate appearances.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Scores twice in opener

    Fraley started in right field and went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and two runs scored in Thursday's 8-2 win over Washington on Opening Day. As usual, Fraley got the start with a right-hander throwing for the Nationals. The left-handed hitting outfielder had just 41 plate appearances against lefties in 2023. Fraley can be useful in a less-than full-time role, as evidenced by the 21 stolen bases he had last year in 111 games.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Back in lineup Wednesday

    Fraley (groin) is starting in right field and batting cleanup in Wednesday's split-squad game against the Rangers. Fraley exited Monday's Cactus League contest after fouling a ball off himself, but he's back in the lineup Wednesday after sitting out one day. The 28-year-old posted career highs with 15 home runs and 21 steals in just 380 plate appearances last season, and he should fill a platoon role for the Reds in 2024, though TJ Friedl's fractured wrist should create more opportunities early on.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Injury not worrisome

Fraley had to be pulled from Monday's Cactus League game against the Giants after a foul tip struck him in the groin area. While it was no doubt a painful incident for the outfielder, it's not a long-term concern.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Exits with undisclosed injury

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Steals second spring bag

    Fraley started in right field and went 1-for-2 with a stolen base in Thursday's spring game against Texas. Fraley, who stole a career-high 21 bases in 2023, swiped his second bag in 10 Cactus League appearances. The lefty-hitting outfielder, who is hitless in eight at-bats against left-handers this spring, was on a strict platoon last season, making just four starts against southpaws. He had a .504 OPS over 41 plate appearances against them last season, slightly better than his career mark of .482 (173 PAs). Fantasy managers can expect a similar role in 2024, with Spencer Steer or Stuart Fairchild entering the outfield whenever the Reds face a lefty.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Undergoes toe surgery

    Fraley underwent surgery on his left fourth toe Oct. 11, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.

The Reds expect Fraley to make a full recovery before the start of spring training.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Idle Friday

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: Out of lineup Tuesday

    Fraley is absent from the lineup Tuesday versus the Guardians. Spencer Steer, TJ Friedl and Will Benson will start across the outfield for the visiting Reds as Joey Votto fills the DH role.

  • Reds' Jake Fraley: On bench against lefty

    Fraley will sit against lefty Bailey Falter and the Pirates on Saturday. Fraley made just four starts against southpaws in the first half and has made none since the break. Given that he's a lifetime .149/.266/.216 hitter in 148 career plate appearances against lefties, he's unlikely to advance beyond a platoon role any time soon. Christian Encarnacion-Strand will get the start at designated hitter in Fraley's absence.
