Aiming to return early next week

Reds manager Terry Francona said Monday that he's hoping Fraley (calf) will be ready for activation from the 10-day injured list early next week, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.

Analysis

Fraley tweaked his left calf nearly two weeks ago and appears to be making progress with his recovery. It's not clear whether the Reds will ask him to play in rehab games before returning, nor is it certain that Fraley will reclaim his job as the team's primary right fielder from the hot-hitting Will Benson once healthy.
