Reds right fielder Jake Fraley exits game after being hit by pitch.
Cincinnati Reds right fielder Jake Fraley left Tuesday’s game against the San Diego Padres after being hit on the right hand by a Joe Musgrove pitch in the bottom of the first.
Fraley remained in the game after being tended to by Reds trainer Sean McQueeney. But Fraley was removed from the game prior to the top of the second.
After Cincinnati manager David Bell informed home plate umpire Hunter Wendelstedt that Stuart Fairchild would come in and play center and Will Benson would move over to right, Bell made his way back to the Reds’ dugout and smashed a chair against the bat rack.
Fraley, who turns 29 Saturday, was hitting .272 through 35 games this season after a 2023 season during which he hit .256 with 15 home runs and 21 stolen bases for Cincinnati.

Brewers RHP Joe Ross (back strain) placed on injured list

MIAMI — Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Joe Ross was placed on the 15-day injured list on Tuesday because of a low back strain.
Ross lasted just one inning in the NL Central-leading Brewers’ series-opening game against the Miami Marlins on Monday night. The Brewers ended up using seven relievers and lost 3-2 in 10 innings.
“Definitely frustrating – I felt I was throwing well,” Ross said Tuesday. “Frustrating because I want to go out there and pitch when my name is called.”
The 31-year-old Ross is in his first year with the Brewers after five seasons with the Washington Nationals, where he alternated between starting and relief roles. Ross has been a fixture in the Brewers’ rotation the first seven weeks of the season, going 2-4 with a 4.50 ERA.
“It doesn’t seem like it’s serious. Seems like it’s nagging,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. “You get it under control and he’ll be back.”
Milwaukee recalled right-hander Tobias Myers from Triple-A Nashville to fill Ross’ spot on the roster.
