Frazier isn't in the Royals' lineup for Thursday's game versus the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
The lefty-hitting Frazier will take a seat as Reid Detmers prepares to start on the hill Thursday for the Halos. His absence will allow Nelson Velazquez to serve as the Royals' DH while batting fifth.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier will head to the bench after he had been included in the lineup for each of the past six games while making three starts at designated hitter and one apiece at second base and in left field and right field. The Royals could look to keep Frazier in a super-utility role in order to maximize his playing time, but he'll likely have to improve upon his .535 OPS if he's to stick in the lineup on a regular basis moving forward.

Frazier will serve as the Royals' designated hitter and No. 9 batter in Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier has made just two starts at second base since Michael Massey was reinstated from the 10-day injured list April 19, but the 32-year-old has been able to retain a regular spot in the lineup while moving between DH and the corner-outfield spots. He'll be making his sixth consecutive start Sunday.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier will take a seat for the third time in four games and looks to have ceded his regular role at second base to Michael Massey, who returned from the 10-day injured list Friday. The 32-year-old gave the Royals little reason to stick with him as an everyday player, as he's slashing just .159/.327/.159 through 55 plate appearances on the season.

Frazier isn't in the Royals' lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The Mets will send southpaw Sean Manaea to the mound to start Saturday, so the lefty-hitting Frazier will step out of the lineup. Nick Loftin will instead start at the keystone and bat third.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier appears to be receiving a veteran's day off for the afternoon game after he started at second base in both of the previous two contests while going 1-for-6 with two walks, two runs, an RBI and a stolen base. Nick Loftin will step in for Frazier at the keystone.

Frazier went 1-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Wednesday's 11-2 win over the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier hasn't done much with the bat so far, hitting .231 with no extra-base hits over 31 plate appearances through 11 games. The second baseman has added three RBI, three runs scored and a 5:3 BB:K. Frazier is seeing a bit less than a strong-side platoon role at the keystone -- he has sat in favor of Nick Loftin against a couple of right-handed hitters, making the position more of a 50-50 split early in the campaign. Frazier could see his role reduced further once Michael Massey (back), who has been on a rehab assignment since Friday, is activated from the injured list.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier will sit for the second time in the last three games despite the White Sox sending out right-hander Chris Flexen for Saturday's game. Frazier is batting .263/.333/.263 with two RBI to start the season. Nick Loftin will start at second base and bat seventh in the lineup.

Frazier isn't in the Royals' lineup for Thursday's game against the White Sox, Joel Goldberg of Bally Sports Kansas City reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier will get a breather Thursday after going 0-for-6 during the Royals' last series versus Baltimore. Nick Loftin will take over for him at the keystone and bat eighth.
