Overview
- Cincinnati placed Fraley on waivers on Aug. 17, triggering a seven-day window to trade, release or outright him.
- Fraley has batted .232 with six home runs and 23 RBIs in 67 games this season but saw his left-field role shrink.
- The club recalled right-hander Connor Phillips and outfielder Will Benson from Triple-A Louisville and optioned left-hander Joe La Sorsa.
- Fraley’s opportunities were limited after Noelvi Marte moved to right field and Austin Hays and Gavin Lux split time in left.
- Stephenson is listed day-to-day with a left-thumb setback that left the Reds with a two-man bench.
