Former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Jake Fraley was designated for assignment on Tuesday by the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Rays had just claimed Fraley off waivers earlier this month.

The 30-year-old was with the Reds from 2022 to 2025 after coming over from the Seattle Mariners in the Jesse Winker and Eugenio Suarez deal.

In four seasons with Cincinnati, Fraley slashed .260/.336/.421 with 94 extra-base hits in 362 games. He played all three outfield spots for the Reds.

After the Reds released Fraley in August, he was picked up by the Atlanta Braves.

Fraley played in nine games with the Braves in 2025, slashing .304/.333/.348 with one extra-base hit.

The veteran was drafted by the Rays in the second round of the 2016 MLB Draft out of Louisiana State University.

He made his MLB debut with the Seattle Mariners on August 21, 2019 against the Rays, going 0-3.

The Reds went 83-79 this past season, making the postseason for the first time since 2020.
