Jake Fraley In Line To Return This Weekend
8 months agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (toe) started a rehab assignment on Tuesday with Triple-A Louisville. As it appears, the 26-year-old could come off the injured list as early as Friday for the start of a crucial four-game weekend series with the Chicago Cubs. Fraley is slated to primarily operate as the team's designated hitter upon his return, but eventually work his way back into the outfield. Will Benson figures to have the most to lose in terms of playing time when that happens, but Cincinnati's depth chart is simply ravaged by injuries currently. Fraley has been a steady mixed-league fantasy contributor this season, batting .263 with 15 home runs, 63 RBI, 40 runs scored, and 20 stolen bases across 289 at-bats.
