Chicago White Sox outfielder Clint Frazier is in the starting lineup for Monday night's series opener with the Los Angeles Angels and left-hander Reid Detmers. As is often the case against lefties, Frazier will play right field and take over for the lefty-swinging Gavin Sheets in the process. However, it has once again been a struggle at the plate for the 28-year-old this season. Frazier is hitting just .193 without a home run alongside four stolen bases and a .559 OPS across 67 trips to the plate. The former top prospect also sports a disastrous 56 wRC+ against lefties this season, eliminating him as a solid platoon streaming option in fantasy baseball or DFS.
Rangers Sign Clint Frazier, Danny Duffy To Minor-League Deals
The Texas Rangers signed free-agent outfielder 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.
Chicago Cubs outfielder 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.
Chicago Cubs outfielder 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.
Chicago Cubs outfielder 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.
Clint Frazier Finalizes Agreement With Chicago Cubs
Outfielder Clint Frazier is set to become the newest member of the Chicago Cubs, as a one-year major-league contract has been finalized. A former top draft pick by Cleveland, Frazier has thus far failed to live up to his elite prospect status, culminating in being designated for assignment by the Yankees this offseason. He'll be given every opportunity to succeed by the rebuilding Cubs, and he could become a multi-year option for the team as he's under club control through 2025. Health issues have been the major roadblock for Frazier, as he has battled concussions and vertigo among other issues, but his .267/.394/.511 slash line and eight homers in the shortened 2020 season provide a glimpse at his potential.
According to a tweet from ESPN's Jesse Rogers, the Chicago Cubs are reportedly close to signing free-agent outfielder Clint Frazier to a one-year contract. Frazier hit .186 with a .317 on-base percentage, five home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 218 plate appearances for the New York Yankees last season. The 27-year-old has a career .195 ISO and 29 home runs in 807 lifetime plate appearances in the Majors. The outfielders currently on Chicago's 40-man roster include Jason Heyward, Ian Happ, Rafael Ortega, Harold Ramirez, Nelson Velazquez, Greg Deichmann, Michael Hermosillo, and Alexander Canario.
The New York Yankees released outfielder Clint Frazier on Tuesday. New York previously designated Frazier for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster for a number of prospects. The outfielder hit .186 with a .317 on-base percentage, five home runs, and a pair of stolen bases in 218 plate appearances for the Yankees last season. He's a career .239 hitter with a lifetime .327 on-base percentage, a 10.5% walk rate, 29 home runs, and seven stolen bases in 807 Major League plate appearances.
The New York Yankees designated outfielder Clint Frazier for assignment on Friday. Crazier hit .186 with a .317 on-base percentage, five home runs, and two stolen bases in 218 plate appearances for New York last season. The 27-year-old registered a 105 wRC+ and a .324 on-base percentage in 807 career plate appearances with the Yankees dating back to the 2017 season. There's still plenty of offseason left, but as of now the Yankees outfield options without Frazier include Aaron Judge, Aaron Hicks, Miguel Andujar, Joey Gallo, and Estevan Florial. Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton appeared in 26 games in the outfield last season.
New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier (eye, head) will not return to the team this season, according to manager Aaron Boone. Frazier, who has been on the injured list since July 2 with vertigo, began a rehab assignment in mid-August but has been shut down since. When he has played, he hasn't performed, slashing .186/.317/.317 with five home runs and two stolen bases over 66 games. It was already a lost year, so hopefully, he can come back healthy next season and put up better numbers.
