After an injury-riddled first three months of the season, outfielder Jake Fraley turned to a popular quote to describe his mindset.
“The past is history and the future is a mystery, so today is a gift,” Fraley said. “That’s all that matters.”
Fraley, one of the four players the Cincinnati Reds received from Seattle in the Jesse Winker/Eugenio Suárez trade, has been limited to 15 games in his first season with his new team. A knee injury sidelined him for three weeks and then a broken bone in his toe sidelined him for another month.
