Jake Fraley Suffers Ankle Sprain On Friday
4 months agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley (ankle) left Friday's game early against the hosting division-rival Milwaukee Brewers with a left-ankle sprain, according to the team. Before hitting the showers early, Fraley ground out to shortstop in his only at-bat in the second inning before being replaced in right field by Stuart Fairchild in the fourth inning. Fraley will likely be sent for tests on his ankle, but for now, fantasy managers should consider the left-handed-hitting outfielder to be day-to-day. Even if it's not a serious injury, the 29-year-old is unlikely to play on Saturday in Milwaukee. If Fraley needs a trip to the 10-day injured list because of his ankle injury, Fairchild would be the one to benefit from extra playing time. Fraley came into Friday's contest hitting a solid .282 (70-for-248) on the year with 14 stolen bases, but injuries have limited him to only 83 games played in 2024.
