Week away from baseball activities Fraley (hamstring) is still about a week away from participating in baseball activities, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Kyle Lewis (knee) is on the injured list and Taylor Trammell has a 50 percent strikeout rate on the season, so Fraley is missing out on a prime opportunity for playing time. It sounds like a late-April return would be the best-case scenario.

Prolonged absence not expected Fraley was officially diagnosed with a mild hamstring strain Thursday, but he remains without a definitive timeline for a return for the time being, Daniel Guerrero of MLB.com repo...

Impact Fraley is already on the 10-day injured list, but Thursday's news did serve as somewhat of a relief based on initial fears he'd be out much longer. During Fraley's absence, left field will likely be manned by a number of players, including utility options Jose Marmolejos and Sam Haggerty, as well as the recently promoted Braden Bishop.

James Paxton heads to IL as Mariners await MRI results

The Seattle Mariners have placed left-handed starter James Paxton on the 10-day injured list with a forearm strain in his pitching arm

APRIL 7, 2021 • Associated Press

Placed on injured list Fraley (hamstring) was placed on the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Fraley is slated to undergo an MRI on Thursday, and the team could have a better timetable for his return once the results are known. Braden Bishop was recalled in a corresponding move, while Jose Marmolejos and Sam Haggerty could see an uptick in playing time in the outfield while Fraley is sidelined.

Requires MRI Fraley (hamstring) is scheduled to undergo an MRI on Thursday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact Seattle gave Fraley an initial diagnosis of a left hamstring strain after he exited Tuesday's 10-4 loss to the White Sox with the injury. The MRI should provide clarity on the grade of Fraley's strain, but the 26-year-old appears likely to land on the 10-day injured list regardless of the extent of his injury. Fraley's absence could open up more work in the outfield for Jose Marmolejos or Sam Haggerty.

Exits with hamstring strain Fraley was removed from Tuesday's game against the White Sox with a left hamstring strain, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports.

Impact The 25-year-old suffered the injury on a diving catch in left field during the fifth inning, and he was replaced in the field for the following frame. Fraley went 0-for-2 with one run and one stolen base before leaving the game, and he should be considered day-to-day.

Gets Opening Day start Fraley will start in left field and bat seventh Thursday against the Giants.

Impact The lefty-hitting Fraley looks like he'll begin the season as at least a strong-side platoon player for the Mariners in the outfield after Kyle Lewis' (knee) placement on the injured list opened up a starting role. Fraley's .427 OPS and 35.7 percent strikeout rate through his 70 big-league plate appearances wouldn't seem to hint at much fantasy upside, but the 25-year-old showcased an intriguing blend of power and speed in his last minor-league season in 2019. Cutting down on the strikeouts will be imperative for him to fully realize his potential.

May open as fourth outfielder Fraley could begin the season as Seattle's fourth outfielder after manager Scott Servais announced Saturday that Taylor Trammell made the Opening Day roster and will start in left...

Impact Fraley was unable to hold off the rookie during spring training, and Trammell is now poised to make his big-league debut for Seattle. However, Kyle Lewis' availability for Opening Day is up in the air due to a knee injury, which could open up some playing time early on. Trammell is expected to start in center field if Lewis is forced to miss any time, which could create some opportunities in left field for Fraley.

MARCH 28, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Making late push? Fraley, trying to hold off Taylor Trammell for the starting left field job, has reached safely in each of his last five spring training games.

Impact Fraley finally got his spring training average over the Mendoza Line on Sunday against the Brewers with a 2-for-3 day that included a double and a stolen base. The 25-year-old has hits in three of his last four games overall as well, making his current stretch at the plate his most productive of the Cactus League slate. However, it may be a case of too little, too late, considering Trammell (.278 spring average) continues to outperform him and Fraley is also still struggling with consistent contact (13 strikeouts in 42 spring plate appearances) in a manner very similar to that of his first two regular-season big-league stints (35.7 percent strikeout rate over 70 PAs).

Walk, strikeout in return Fraley (undisclosed) went 0-for-2 with a walk and a strikeout in a Cactus League loss to the Diamondbacks on Monday.

Impact Fraley returned to action after sitting out Sunday's game following a collision with the outfield wall Saturday. The 25-year-old isn't exactly in a position to miss any time at the moment -- impressive prospect Taylor Trammell continues to push him for the starting left field job with his strong play thus far this spring, while Fraley now has a .136 average (3-for-22) across 11 spring games.

MARCH 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to lineup Fraley (undisclosed) will bat eighth and play left field Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Fraley missed Sunday's game against the Brewers after colliding with the outfield wall the day before. He evidently wasn't seriously hurt and will continue his push for a starting role Monday. Even if he beats out Taylor Trammell for starts in left to start the year, though, it probably won't be long until Jarred Kelenic (knee) claims the job.

MARCH 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Sunday Fraley is unavailable for Sunday's spring game against the Brewers after colliding with the outfield wall Saturday, Ryan Divish of The Seattle Times reports.

Impact It appears to be a minor concern for the 25-year-old since he's expected to be back in the lineup Monday. Fraley started out spring training 0-for-15, though he's rebounded a bit and gone 3-for-5 over the past couple games.

MARCH 12, 2021 • SODOMOJO.COM

Much-needed breakout effort Fraley went 2-for-3 with a double and a three-run home run in a Cactus League tie with the Dodgers on Thursday.

Impact Despite it just being spring training, there was increasing urgency for Fraley to start showing some sign of life at the plate, considering the promising play of prize prospect Taylor Trammell is threatening the former's grip on the starting left field job. Fraley had opened spring mired in an 0-for-15 malaise, but Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports the outfielder's 446-foot blast that carried 106 mph exit velocity -- which was preceded by a double off starter and reigning NL Cy Young winner Trevor Bauer -- offered a tangible reminder of his upside.
