Frazier is expected to begin the season in an everyday role in the outfield after general manager Brian Cashman confirmed Tuesday that Aaron Judge (shoulder) and Giancarlo Stanton (calf) are unlikely to be ready for Opening Day, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees' lineup for Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox, looks like a good representation of what the team will typically roll out against left-handed pitchers to begin the campaign, as the starting nine should feature a combination of Brett Gardner, Mike Tauchman, Miguel Andujar and Frazier occupying the three outfield and designated hitter spots. Frazier should have a fairly clear path to regular work versus right-handed pitching as well while the two sluggers are sidelined, though he'll typically find himself near the bottom of a stacked lineup.

Frazier is "trying a new trigger mechanism that places his front foot turned inward," Spencer Fordin of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

According to Frazier, he places 60 percent of his weight on his back leg and has "eliminated a long stride to the ball." The adjustment paid off with a home run to left field in Thursday's Grapefruit League contest against Tampa Bay. Frazier is hitting .286 overall this spring as he seeks to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster.

Frazier spent part of the offseason working on improving defensively, Sweeny Murti of Sportsradio 66 WFAN reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Frazier wields a potent bat, his struggles in the field have substantially cooled the Yankees' interest in making him an everyday player. Should the 25-year-old prove capable of growing into a tolerable defensive outfielder, he could forge a path to more consistent playing time. As it stands, Frazier is currently battling to simply make the Opening Day roster.

Frazier will not make the Yankees' playoff roster, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier has still yet to establish himself as a big-league regular. His .267/.317/.489 slash line on the season in 69 games is good for a solid .806 OPS, but he hit just .176/.243/.353 in the month of September.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in a victory over the Angels on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier capped the scoring with a two-run blast to left field in the the eighth inning. The long ball broke a 19-game homerless drought during which Frazier's playing time has decreased dramatically. He has gotten into only nine of 17 games in September, hitting .160 with four hits and seven strikeouts in 25 at-bats.

Frazier remains on the bench Tuesday against the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier looked to be moving into a starting role in left field after Mike Tauchman suffered a season-ending calf injury last week, but he's now on the bench for the third straight game. Cameron Maybin starts in left field.

Frazier Randy Miller of The Newark Star-Ledger Sunday in Toronto.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier owns a poor .420 OPS in eight games since getting called up at the start of September. He'll sit for the second straight contest, with Tyler Wade getting the nod in left field.

Frazier is not in Saturday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier is 2-for-20 with zero home runs and zero steals in seven September games. Cameron Maybin will start in left field and hit seventh.

Frazier will start in left field and bat eighth Wednesday against the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Frazier will pick up his second straight start and could benefit from increased opportunities over the next couple of weeks with Mike Tauchman (calf) recently succumbing to a season-ending injury. Cameron Maybin will likely battle Frazier for one spot in the outfield in most games, but there will be room for both players in Wednesday's lineup with the lefty-hitting Brett Gardner taking a seat against Detroit southpaw Matthew Boyd.

The Yankees recalled Frazier from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Sunday's game against the Athletics. He'll serve as the team's designated hitter and will bat seventh.

EDGE Analysis

Though he's up with the big club for the first time since mid-June, Frazier isn't expected to see regular work with the Yankees in September, even with multiple outfielders still on the injured list. Frazier didn't exactly blow the doors off Triple-A pitching after being demoted, slashing .247/.305/.433 across 61 contests. He'll likely be in line for only a couple starts per week with the Yankees unless his bat catches fire.
