Reds Designate Outfielder Jake Fraley for Assignment

Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley has been designated for assignment, a move manager Terry Francona stated was partly to offer Fraley an opportunity to play elsewhere. Francona clarified that the decision was not a consequence of Fraley's recent hyperextended knee or an error in a previous game. The 30-year-old Fraley was batting .232 with six home runs and 23 RBIs in 67 games this season, his fourth with Cincinnati.
