Fraley went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's spring game against the Cubs.
Fraley launched his first homer and stole his first base in Cactus League action Sunday. At the very least, he'll be in the lineup against right-handers this season; the outfielder has a .504 OPS in 229 career plate appearances against southpaws. If healthy, Fraley's in line for 110-120 games, which is enough for him to post 20-plus steals, as he's done in each of the last two seasons.
Reds' Jake Fraley: Receives $3.125 million from Reds
Rotowire
The Reds and Fraley avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $3.125 million contract Thursday, Gordon Wittenmyer of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
It was Fraley's second year of arbitration eligibility. The 29-year-old reached 20 stolen bases in 2024 but fell off to just five home runs over a career-high 116 games. He should be a strong-side platoon player again for Cincinnati in 2025.
Fraley is absent from the lineup in Thursday's contest versus Atlanta.
Southpaw Chris Sale is on the bump for Atlanta, so Fraley will begin the game on the bench. Amed Rosario will patrol right field for the Reds in Thursday's series finale.

Rotowire
Fraley went 3-for-4 with a solo homer and an additional run scored in Saturday's 11-1 win over the Twins.
Fraley continued a recent hot stretch at the plate since returning from a stint on the injured list due to a knee injury. After hitting 15 homers last season, Fraley has struggled in the power department with just five home runs in 2024, though he has two over his last 13 games. The 29-year-old has started each of the Reds last 13 games and has a hit in 11 of those games with a .333 batting average in that span. Fraley picked up his fifth three-hit game of the season and raised his batting average to .280 in the process.

Reds' Jake Fraley: Swipes bag in third straight game
Rotowire
Fraley went 2-for-2 with a double, a stolen base and a walk in Thursday's 1-0 win over the Astros.
Fraley reached base three times in a game for the first time since July 24 in the win over Houston. Fraley picked up his 19th steal of the season, and for the first time in his career he has a steal in three straight games. The 29-year-old is now one steal away from his second consecutive season of 20 or more swipes. He's hitting a respectable .275/.329/.383 for the year but is lacking in the power department with just four homers.

Rotowire
The Reds reinstated Fraley (knee) from the 10-day injured list Sunday. He'll start in right field and bat sixth in the Reds' series finale with the Brewers.
The 29-year-old is back on the active roster after a short stay on the injured list due to a knee sprain.
