DFA'd by Rays Tampa Bay designated Fraley for assignment Sunday.

Impact After just recently after being reinstated from the 60-day IL earlier this week, Fraley was DFA'd. With Victor Mesa becoming the Rays' everyday right fielder in Fraley's absence, the 31-year-old was unable to regain playing time. The Rays made the move in order to create room for Ben Williamson (hamstring) to return from the IL.

Kicks off rehab assignment at Triple-A Fraley (hernia) went 1-for-3 while playing six innings in right field Tuesday in his first rehab game for Triple-A Durham.

Impact After undergoing hernia surgery in May and landing on the injured list, Fraley received the green light to begin a rehab assignment in late June. The 31-year-old made just five appearances in the minors before being pulled off the assignment in mid-July when he experienced a setback, but after a prolonged shutdown, he's made enough progress to resume playing in games. Due to the extended time he's missed, Fraley will likely need multiple games at Triple-A to regain his timing at the plate and improve his conditioning. He could be a candidate to return from the 60-day injured list after the active roster expands to 28 men next Tuesday.

Impact Fraley landed on the injured list in May due to a hernia that required surgery, though setbacks have extended his time on the shelf. It's unclear how far away he is from rejoining the active roster, but he's likely to spend a good amount of time in the minors after missing nearly three months.
