Reds' Jake Fraley: Launches homer in loss
Rotowire
Fraley went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 4-3 loss to the Brewers.
Fraley launched his career-high tying 12th home run to give the Reds an early 3-1 lead. He leads the club with 54 RBI. It was the third consecutive game he's batted third -- all against right-handers -- but there should be tweaks to the order after the Reds recalled prospect Christian Encarnacion-Strand from Triple-A Louisville. Fraley's playing time will not be affected, but his slot in the order could.

Reds' Jake Fraley: Sleeper hitters for Week 15 (July 3-9)
Rotowire
Jake Fraley, like his teammate TJ Friedl, is a well-rounded outfielder who has been passed over long enough in Fantasy leagues, though unlike Friedl, he still tends to sit against lefties. Fortunately, the Reds are facing only two of those in a week with seven games against some of the worst the Nationals and Brewers can throw at them.

Rotowire
Fraley is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Fraley will join fellow left-handed hitters Joey Votto and Will Benson on the bench for the series opener at Camden Yards while southpaw Cole Irvin takes the hill for Baltimore. Nick Senzel will pick up a start in right field in place of Fraley.

Rotowire
Fraley (wrist) is not in the starting lineup Friday versus the Cardinals.
Fraley will remain on the bench for a third straight game Friday with left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the mound for St. Louis. It's unclear whether his wrist injury makes him available off the bench as a potential pinch hitter, but T.J. Hopkins will handle right field in Fraley's absence.
