Clint Frazier Collects Two-Run Double
Clint Frazier went 1-for-2 with a two-run double and a pair of walks in Wednesday's 6-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. Frazier came up with a big hit for the Yankees, tying the game in the fourth inning on a 103.2 MPH double, which scored two runners. The 26-year-old also showed a patient eye at the plate, drawing two walks. Frazier has been a starter in the outfield for each of the last four games, going 3-for-12 with three doubles, four runs scored, two RBI, and a 6:4 strikeout-to-walk ratio. The Yankees look like they're starting to trust Frazier again, meaning he is worth monitoring in the coming days if he's on the waiver wire.

Rangers Sign Clint Frazier, Danny Duffy To Minor-League Deals
Clint Frazier and left-hander Danny Duffy to minor-league deals on Friday. Once a top prospect for the Cleveland Guardians, Frazier spent the 2022 season with the Chicago Cubs and hit just .216 with a .653 OPS and no home runs in 19 games. Staying healthy has always been a big issue -- he's never played in more than 69 major-league games in a single season -- and he has a career slash line of .238/.329/.427 with a .756 OPS, 29 home runs and 98 RBI in six big-league seasons. Duffy had a left forearm injury that kept him from pitching in 2022. In his 11 major-league seasons with the Kansas City Royals, he has a 3.95 ERA (4.17 FIP), 1.32 WHIP and 21.1 percent strikeout rate in 234 outings (204 starts). Frazier and Duffy will provide some nice veteran depth if they can stay healthy in 2023.

Clint Frazier Has Successful Surgery
Clint Frazier (abdomen) underwent successful appendectomy surgery on Friday. The organization has not given a timetable for Frazier's return. Although, the young outfielder is reportedly doing well after the surgery. The expectation that Frazier will miss at least a week or possibly two. Ian Happ will cover left field and bat cleanup versus right-hander Zach Thompson on Saturday. Happ could be a sneaky fantasy option for Saturday's contest.

Clint Frazier Lands On Injured List
Clint Frazier (appendicitis) has been placed on the 10-day injured list. It's uncertain if he's already undergone an appendectomy, but will be sidelined for the next week and a half. Patrick Wisdom will slide over to left field and bat fifth versus lefty Jose Quintana on Friday. Both Wisdom and Ian Happ should see plenty of time in left field over the next week or so.

Clint Frazier To Lead Off On Friday
Clint Frazier will bat leadoff and serve as the designated hitter for Friday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers. The former first round pick has struggled to find his groove in the big leagues. Hopefully, Frazier has found a home on the North Side of Chicago. The 27-year-old slapped a pinch-hit double during the season opener on Thursday. That has earned him a spot at the top of the lineup for Friday's contest. However, he'll face off against two-time All-Star right-hander Brandon Woodruff. This is not exactly a great matchup for the former top prospect.
