Jake Fraley Starting Saturday's Game On The Bench
2 years agoCincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley will begin Saturday's game against the Oakland Athletics on the bench. The former Seattle Mariner is slashing .230/.333/.351 with two bombs, nine runs, 14 RBI, and three stolen bases over 24 games. With left-hander Kyle Muller taking the ball for the A's, it makes sense to sit Fraley, who owns a .144 average against southpaws. Luke Maile will take his spot in the lineup, catching and batting ninth. The glove-first backstop has never been much of an offensive threat and is batting .211 with a .461 OPS so far over 10 contests. Fantasy managers can find better options on the waiver wire and shouldn't waste their time with Maile.
