Jake Fraley On The Bench Against A Lefty
1 day agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley is out of the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the division-rival Pittsburgh Pirates at Great American Ball Park with a left-hander on the mound. Blake Dunn will get the start in right field for the Reds and will bat second against Pirates left-hander Bailey Falter. Fraley is often rested against southpaws, so this shouldn't come as much of a surprise to fantasy managers in deeper leagues that have the 29-year-old lefty swinger rostered. In addition to his struggles against lefties, Fraley has gone just 6-for-32 in the early going this year with no homers, one RBI, one steal, three runs scored and five strikeouts in 10 games played. Dunn is in a nice lineup spot to make him a potential DFS sleeper on Friday, but he has just four hits (one homer) in his first 20 at-bats this year. He has never faced Falter in his career.
