Jake Fraley’s bases-clearing triple is still fresh in memory—a key moment from the Cincinnati Reds’ Fourth of July victory that helped them sweep the New York Yankees in the Bronx. That clutch hit, which drove in three runs, holds a special place in Fraley’s mind and will continue to do so. However, it pales in comparison to the more significant challenge he’s been facing recently.Hideki Matsui Shirt.
Fraley’s daughter, Avery, has been battling leukemia since the winter, and because of this, the Reds placed him on the Family Emergency List. According to David Bell via The Enquirer’s Charlie Goldsmith, Avery is doing well, and Fraley’s time away from the team had been planned in advance to accommodate his family’s needs this season. While baseball matters are secondary in this case, league rules dictate that Fraley will be sidelined for a minimum of three days and a maximum of seven. This should be considered when evaluating the Reds’ roster adjustments.
His absence was just one of several moves Cincinnati made on Friday. Catcher Luke Maile was also placed on the 10-day injured list due to a herniated disc in his back. To fill the vacancies, the Reds called up infielder Edwin Ríos and reinstated catcher Austin Wynns, who had previously been designated for assignment twice but went unclaimed.
To make room for Ríos on the 40-man roster, infielder Levi Jordan was designated for assignment. With only 10 games remaining before the All-Star break, these roster adjustments will play a crucial role in how the Reds navigate the upcoming stretch.
