Facing long-term absence Rays manager Kevin Cash said Monday that Fraley (hernia) will require surgery and will face a recovery timeline of 6-to-8 weeks, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Tampa Bay placed Fraley on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to the hernia, but it wasn't immediately clear whether the outfielder would need surgery to address the matter. Now that the Rays have confirmed Fraley will need a procedure, he appears likely to remain on the shelf through the All-Star break. Jonny DeLuca and Ryan Vilade likely represent the top candidates to see added opportunities in right field while Fraley is shelved, and utility player Richie Palacios also looms as an option to see more work in the outfield.

Shifts to IL The Rays (hernia) placed Fraley on the 10-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to May 16.

Impact The outfielder was scratched from the lineup Saturday due to the injury and is expected to be sidelined about six weeks. Carson Williams was called up Sunday to take Fraley's place on the big-league roster, though it'll likely be Ryan Vilade and Jonny Deluca that benefit from additional playing time.

Lands on IL with hernia The Rays placed Fraley on the 10-day injured list Saturday due to a hernia, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Rays scratched Fraley from Saturday's lineup due to the injury. Topkin relays that the degree and severity of the hernia is not yet known, though Fraley will be out of action for at least six weeks, so his return would take place as early as late June. Jonny DeLuca and Ryan Vilade should both see more reps in the outfield in Fraley's absence, and Carson Williams is expected to be called up from Triple-A Durham to take Fraley's spot on the 26-man roster.

Impact With a lefty (Eric Lauer) on the bump for the Blue Jays, the Rays will go with Ryan Vilade over the left-handed-hitting Fraley in right field. Fraley had started in each of the Rays' last five games, going 3-for-14 with a double, a walk and an RBI over that stretch.

He was later replaced by Jonny DeLuca, who entered to face lefty Taylor Rogers in the seventh. On the season, the 30-year-old Fraley is slashing .240/.309/.440 with two homers, four RBI, four runs scored and two steals across 55 plate appearances.

Back in lineup Fraley (shin) will start in right field and bat fifth Saturday against the Twins, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Fraley missed the Rays' last two games after fouling a pitch off his leg Tuesday, but he's now feeling well enough to return to the starting nine. The 30-year-old outfielder has collected a hit in six of his last eight games and is slashing .261/.320/.435 with a homer, two RBI and two runs in that span.

Not starting Wednesday Fraley (lower leg) is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Reds, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Fraley was lifted early in Tuesday's 12-6 loss after bruising his right lower leg when he fouled a pitch off himself. He'll get at least one day out of the lineup to recover, though with left-hander Brandon Williamson starting for the Reds, the left-handed-hitting Fraley likely would have been on the bench Wednesday even if he had emerged healthy from Tuesday's contest.

APRIL 22 • Associated Press

Exits with bruised leg Fraley was removed from Tuesday's game against the Reds with a right lower-leg contusion, Ryan Bass of Rays.tv reports.

Impact Fraley suffered the injury when he fouled a pitch off his leg in the second inning, though he wasn't taken out of the game until the fourth. The Rays are considering him day-to-day for now, though he may sit out a game or two to allow any lingering soreness to fade before returning to the lineup.

APRIL 22 • ROTOWIRE

Taking seat Sunday Fraley is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Rays are facing a right-hander (Mitch Keller) in the series finale, but left-handed-hitting Fraley will be held out of the starting nine nonetheless while Jonny DeLuca replaces him in right field. Fraley has recorded hits in five of his last six starts but is still holding down a pedestrian .227/.292/.364 slash line over 48 plate appearances on the season.
