2025 Fantasy Outlook
Fraley was banged up throughout the 2024 season and landed on the injured list in August with a right knee sprain. In between the fits and starts, he managed just five home runs across 382 plate appearances, presumably related to his various health woes. The outfielder still reached 20 steals for the second straight year and finished strong with a .299/.353/.455 line in September. Fraley made six starts and totaled 33 plate appearances against left-handed pitching last season, and he is unlikely to be more than a platoon player under new manager Terry Francona. Nonetheless, Fraley is a bounce-back candidate and has appeal as a late-round outfielder given his well-rounded skill set and opportunity in an advantageous home park. Read Past Outlooks

Receives cortisone shot
Fraley (shoulder) was given a shot of cortisone Saturday in an effort to avoid undergoing surgery and keep playing, Mark Sheldon of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Fraley will eventually require surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder, but he's doing what he can to stay on the field and help the Reds. He discussed surgical options with Cincinnati's orthopedic surgeon and was presented with one procedure option with a shorter recovery time -- in the past, surgery for labrum tears required an eight-to-12 month recovery. In theory, Fraley could undergo the surgery with a shorter recovery timeline during the offseason and be ready for the 2026 season.

Stat Review
How does Jake Fraley compare to other hitters?
This section compares his stats with all batting seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 400 plate appearances)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity and Barrels/PA % are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 400 PA) and Hard Hit Rate is benchmarked against last season's data (min 400 PA). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Acquired from Seattle prior to the 2022 season, 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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Possible trade target
Levi Weaver of The Athletic speculates the Rangers could attempt to acquire Fraley from the Reds.
Analysis
Fraley was limited to just 68 games last season due to knee and toe injuries, but he was a valuable bat when available with a .259/.344/.468 slash line and 12 home runs. The 27-year-old is a poor defender and typically fares better against right-handed pitching, and the Rangers could look for him to fill the strong side of a platoon in left field if a deal is reached.
