Exiting starting nine Thursday Fraley is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Though right-hander Jordan Leasure is opening the game for Chicago, the left-handed Anthony Kay is scheduled to cover the bulk of the innings out of the bullpen, which has likely influenced the Rays' decision to hold the left-handed-hitting Fraley out of the lineup. Jonny DeLuca will pick up a start in right field in place of Fraley.

Not in Friday's lineup Fraley is absent from the lineup for Friday's contest against the Yankees.

Impact Right-hander Luis Gil will be getting the ball for the Yankees, but the left-handed-hitting Fraley will nonetheless begin the game on the bench. Righty Jonny DeLuca will patrol right field and hit sixth for the Rays.

Returns to Rays' lineup Fraley (shoulder) will start in right field and bat cleanup in Tuesday's game versus the Brewers.

Impact Fraley had to be scratched from Sunday's lineup due to right shoulder soreness and then didn't play Monday as the Brewers sent a left-hander to the mound. However, the left-handed-hitting Fraley feels well enough to give it a go Tuesday against right-hander Brandon Woodruff.

Scratched from Sunday's lineup Fraley was scratched from the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Fraley was set to start in right field and bat third but is no longer in the starting nine. The Rays have yet to provide a reason for the 30-year-old's removal from the lineup, but he's presumably dealing with an injury. Jonny DeLuca has replaced him in right field for Sunday's contest.

Strong start in Grapefruit League Fraley went 2-for-2 with an RBI and a run scored in Sunday's Grapefruit League game against Atlanta.

Impact Fraley is off to a nice start this spring, having gone 4-for-13 (.308) with four RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base covering seven Grapefruit League outings. The 30-year-old is lined up for a strong-side platoon role in right field to start his first season with the Rays, but he'll likely lose at-bats to Jonny DeLuca versus left-handed pitching. Last regular season, Fraley hit .241 with just six home runs, 23 RBI and four stolen bases across 191 at-bats for Cincinnati and Atlanta.

Back with Rays on one-year deal The Rays re-signed Fraley to a one-year contract Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact The Rays non-tendered Fraley last week, but he's now back on a new one-year pact. Fraley has never had more than 382 plate appearances in a major-league season, in part due to injury issues but also due to the left-handed hitter's career .508 OPS versus lefty pitchers. The 30-year-old does have a career .261/.344/.432 batting line against righties, though, and will be part of Tampa Bay's outfield mix in 2026.

Let go by Rays Fraley was non-tendered by the Rays on Friday, Steve Carney of StPeteNine.com reports.

Impact Fraley was designated for assignment by the Rays only two weeks after being claimed off waivers. Fraley has had at least a .700 OPS in five consecutive seasons but has also struggled to remain healthy, which will likely limit him to a very modest contract.
