Frazier went 1-for-4 with a double, two RBI and a run scored Sunday against the Guardians.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier extended his hitting streak to five games when he delivered a two-RBI double in the ninth inning. He went on to steal third base -- his second theft of the season -- and score the game-tying run. Even with the solid showing, Frazier is hitting only .209 this season with a .090 ISO across 71 plate appearances.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier had been included in the lineup in the last three games, but the lefty-hitting veteran will take a seat Wednesday while the Nationals send southpaw Mitchell Parker to the hill. With Frazier on the bench, Jared Triolo will draw the start at second base.

Frazier is not in Pittsburgh's starting lineup against Cincinnati on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

With the Reds sending southpaw Andrew Abbott to the mound, the lefty-hitting Frazier will begin Saturday's contest in the dugout while Enmanuel Valdez starts at second base and bats eighth. Frazier has started the season slashing .171/.222/.244 with one home run and six RBI across 45 plate appearances.

Frazier is starting at second base and batting eighth against the Marlins on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier replaced Nick Gonzales in the sixth inning of Thursday's win over Miami after the latter injured his left ankle. With Gonzales being placed on the 10-day IL on Friday, Frazier looks to have a hold on the keystone position for the time being and could remain in lineups against southpaws, whom he's batted .246 against in his career.

Frazier (back) will start at second base and bat fifth in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier hasn't played in more than a week while dealing with a back issue, but he's feeling up to giving it a go Friday. The veteran is slated to serve in a utility role with the Pirates this season.

Manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Frazier hasn't played in a spring game since Feb. 26 due to a back injury, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 33-year-old signed a one-year, $1.525 million contract with the Pirates in January but appeared in just three Grapefruit League games before the back injury surfaced. Frazier could return to game action before the end of the week, which would put him on track for the start of the regular season.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier will begin his second stint in Pittsburgh in 2025 after he signed a one-year, $1.525 million contract with the Pirates in January. He's projected to serve as a utility man for the Pirates, with his playing time likely to be contingent on the health of Pittsburgh's everyday players. During his time with the Royals last season, Frazier produced a career-low .576 OPS and struck out at a career-high 20.1 percent clip over 294 plate appearances.

The Pirates signed Frazier to a one-year, $1.525 million contract Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier's first five-and-a-half seasons in the majors were with the Pirates before he made stops with the Padres, Mariners, Orioles and Royals. The 33-year-old slashed only .202/.282/.294 this past season in Kansas City and has managed just a .632 OPS over the last three seasons. Frazier had thumb surgery in October but should be ready to roll for spring training. He'll likely serve in a utility role in Pittsburgh this season.

The Royals declined Frazier's (thumb) mutual option for 2025 on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier saw only 294 plate appearances in 2024 -- his only campaign with the Royals -- his fewest in a full season since 2016. He also performed poorly by maintaining just a .576 OPS with four home runs and three stolen bases. Frazier may be able to find a major-league deal due to his defensive versatility, though his days as a near everyday starter are likely to be over.

Frazier will undergo surgery on his right thumb this week, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier strained the thumb back in June and required a brief injured-list stint at the time. The exact nature of the procedure he will have isn't clear, but Frazier should be fully healthy well ahead of spring training. The utility player has an $8.5 million mutual option for 2025.
