    • Reds place Jake Fraley on family emergency list
      Reds placed OF Jake Fraley on the family medical emergency list.

      Advice: That explains Fraley’s absence against a right-hander on Friday night. Nothing but well wishes to Fraley and his family during this difficult time. The family medical emergency list allows him to step away from the team for anywhere between three and seven days, so he’ll miss the weekend series against the Tigers at a minimum. Edwin Rios was recalled from Triple-A Louisville to take his place on the active roster. Rotoworld 51 minutes ago
       
    • Jake Fraley riding the pine once again on Friday
      Jake Fraley is once again riding the pine for the Reds for Friday’s series opener against the Tigers in Cincinnati.

      Advice: It’s the third time that Fraley has found himself on the bench in the last four games, and the troubling part is that two of those games — including Friday’s — have been against opposing right-handed pitchers. Nick Martini will draw another start in his place and will bat fifth against Reese Olson and the Tigers on Friday night. Rotoworld Today, 1:04 pm
       
    • Goes on family emergency list
      The Reds placed Fraley on the family medical emergency list Friday, Charlie Goldsmith of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports.

      Advice: By rule, Fraley will miss at least the next three days but no more than seven days while on the list. The Reds have Nick Martini and Will Benson in the corner outfield spots and Jeimer Candelario at designated hitter Friday against the Tigers. Rotowire.com Today, 1:02 pm
       
    • Idle Friday
      Fraley is out of the lineup for Friday's game against Detroit.

      Advice: Fraley's playing time has been trending down lately, having only started in four of the Reds' last 12 games. Nick Martini has emerged as Cincinnati's preferred option in left field, pushing Will Benson into right field and Fraley to the bench on most nights. Rotowire.com Today, 12:05 pm
       
    • Lacking clear return timeline
      Buehler has resumed throwing and appears to be fully recovered from the right hip inflammation that resulted in his placement on the 15-day injured list June 19, but manager Dave Roberts said Wednesday that the right-hander is without a clear timeline for a return, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.

      Advice: Buehler hasn't been with the Dodgers this week following the team's return from its road trip, as Roberts noted that the right-hander is conducted his throwing program "offsite." More specifically, Ardaya relays that Buehler has been throwing both at the Dodgers' spring facility in Arizona and at a private facility in Florida. While the fact that Buehler isn't being shut down from activity can be taken as a positive sign, he's seemingly unlikely to return from the IL until after the All-Star break. The Dodgers may be keen on giving Buehler an extended break while he had struggled to bounce back from the second Tommy John surgery of his career before landing on the shelf. In his eight starts since being cleared to make his 2024 Dodgers debut in early May, Buehler has posted a 5.84 ERA, 1.51 WHIP and 31:10 K:BB in 37 innings. Rotowire.com Today, 10:55 am
       
    • Lasts four innings in no-decision
      Gallen did not factor into the decision in a win over the Dodgers on Thursday, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.

      Advice: The Dodgers put Gallen to task early, drawing 85 pitches out of the right-hander over four innings, with all three runs coming against him in his final frame. It marked Gallen's shortest outing of the season outside of his injury-shortened appearance on May 30 against the Mets and he's now allowed three runs in three of his last four starts (excluding May 30). It was also only the third time this season in which Gallen issued three walks. Rotowire.com Today, 7:12 am
       
    • Another three-hit performance
      Witt went 3-for-5 with a home run and two RBI in Thursday's loss to the Rays.

      Advice: Witt drove home Kansas City's second run of the game with a sacrifice fly in the third before recording hits in each of his next three trips to the plate, including a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth. It was the star shortstop's third multi-hit performance in his last three games and he's now tallied at least one RBI in four straight. Witt is 6-for-11 (.545) through three games to start the month of July and his .319 average on the season puts him at second in the majors behind only Steven Kwan (.367).

    • Zac Gallen lasts just four innings versus Dodgers
      Zac Gallen allowed three runs over four innings Thursday in his start versus the Dodgers.

      Advice: The results weren’t great, but Gallen’s velocity tonight was even better in his first start back from the IL; he averaged 95.9 mph on his fastball, up from 95.2 mph last time out and 92.9 mph in the 11 starts before he went on the IL. Because of the diminished velocity, we were a bit down on him before his hamstring injury. He seems like a better bet now, though. Rotoworld Yesterday, 9:29 pm
       
    • Drives in three runs Thursday
      Fraley went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and a stolen base in Thursday's 8-4 victory versus the Yankees.

      Advice: Fraley broke the game open for the Reds with his bases-clearing triple in the seventh inning. It was just the third three-bagger of his six-year career, with two taking place this season. Fraley tacked on a stolen base in Thursday's victory, giving him 12 thefts on the campaign.
