Jake Fraley News
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) remains out of the starting lineup ahead of Wednesday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. The left-handed slugger has missed four games in a row due to an illness. He shouldn't require a trip to the injured list, but it could happen if he continues to miss time. Stuart Fairchild will cover center field and bat ninth versus right-hander Spencer Turnbull on Wednesday.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) and second baseman Jonathan India (illness) are both still out on Tuesday against the visiting Philadelphia Phillies due to illnesses. Fraley has been out of the starting lineup since last Friday, while India has now missed the last three games due to a bug that has been going around the clubhouse. Stuart Fairchild is in center field and is batting leadoff, while Nick Martini is the designated hitter and is batting seventh against Phillies left-hander Cristopher Sanchez. Santiago Espinal is at second and hitting in the eight-hole. Fantasy managers will need to check back on both Fraley and India to see if they're feeling good enough to return on Wednesday. Fairchild is the best DFS sleeper play out of the leadoff spot. He has yet to homer in 44 at-bats in 2024, but he does have a homer and RBI in five career at-bats against Sanchez.
Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (illness) and Will Benson are both out of the lineup on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies and left-hander Ranger Suarez. Fraley is missing his third straight game due to an illness, while it appears Benson is being rested with a lefty on the mound in this one. Stuart Fairchild is starting in right field and batting leadoff, while Bubba Thompson gets a start in center field and is batting in the nine-hole. Fairchild might be worth a look as a low-cost DFS sleeper in the leadoff spot. He's hitting .250 (10-for-40) so far with no homers, five RBI and five stolen bases in 2024. Fairchild is hitless in his five career at-bats against Suarez, while Thompson has never faced the soft-tossing lefty in his career.

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley is not an everyday player for the club but remains on the strong solid of a platoon whether it be in left or right field while seeing additional time at designated hitter. The 28-year-old dealt with back, wrist, and toe injuries in the 2023 season but still managed to appear in 111 games, hitting .256 with 15 home runs, 21 stolen bases, and a .782 OPS across 380 trips to the plate. A healthy season likely puts him closer to 450 plate appearances as ATC projects 16 home runs and 18 stolen bases across 440 plate appearances for Fraley in the 2024 campaign. Considering Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati is not only the homer-friendliest venue in the league with a 131 home run factor over the last three seasons, as per Statcast, but it also sports a139 mark for left-handed hitters, by far the highest in baseball. Fraley still holds value at his 342.74 ADP despite the lack of an everyday role.
