The Reds designated Fraley (knee) for assignment Sunday.

The veteran outfielder hyperextended his right knee in Saturday's loss to the Brewers, but his 3-for-28 performance at the plate over his last 11 games likely has more to do with him being jettisoned from the 26-man active roster and 40-man roster. Fraley has been limited to 67 games this season due to shoulder and calf issues and has a .232/.332/.387 slash line in 193 plate appearances. He's making $3.125 million this season and will have his final year of arbitration eligibility in 2026, so it's unclear if he'll receive much interest on waivers.
