• Rays' Jake Fraley: Back with Rays on one-year deal

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  The Rays re-signed Fraley to a one-year, $3 million contract Tuesday, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The Rays non-tendered Fraley last week, but he's now back on a new one-year pact. Fraley has never had more than 382 plate appearances in a major-league season, in part due to injury issues but also due to the left-handed hitter's career .508 OPS versus lefty pitchers. The 30-year-old does have a career .261/.344/.432 batting line against righties, though, and will be part of Tampa Bay's outfield mix in 2026.

Fraley has had at least a .700 OPS in five consecutive seasons but has also struggled to remain healthy, which will likely limit him to a very modest contract.

He had a .241/.332/.382 slash line with six home runs and four steals in 217 plate appearances.

  Atlanta transferred Fraley (oblique) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list Wednesday, David O'Brien of The Athletic reports.

It also officially ends Fraley's season after he had landed on the 10-day IL over the weekend with an oblique strain. The veteran outfielder has one more year of arbitration eligibility but could be non-tendered by Atlanta this offseason.
