2025 Player Outlook
Fraley hit just five home runs last season, but he stole 20+ bases for the second straight season, and he hit a career-best .277. Given that he posted a mere 52 wRC+ against southpaws last season, he figures to see most of his time against right-handed pitching, putting him on the large side of a platoon in the Cincinnati outfield. His overall offensive profile in terms of batted ball quality is far from ideal, and a lack of hard contact combined with a 40+ percent ground ball rate doesn’t really project for increased power output in 2025. Best case scenario, he hits 12-15 home runs this season, but his biggest contributions for fantasy managers will be some cheap speed and a serviceable batting average (.245-.260).
Player News
Jake Fraley connected on a grand slam while going 3-for-5, but the Reds fell to the Mariners on Thursday in extra innings.
Jake Fraley is not in the lineup for Friday’s game against the Royals.
With left-hander Kris Bubic on the mound for the Royals, the Reds will go with Blake Dunn in right field while Fraley gets a night off; something that usually happens against southpaw pitchers.
Jake Fraley (side) is back in the lineup for Tuesday’s game against the Giants.
Fraley is back in right field and batting eighth on Tuesday night at Oracle Park following a brief one-game absence due to side pain. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward.
Jake Fraley was scratched from Monday’s lineup with left side pain.
The Reds aren’t calling it an oblique issue specifically so we’re going to assume that Fraley is day-to-day for now. It’ll be Blake Dunn moving over to right field with Jacob Hurtubise stepping into the lineup to cover left field.
