Frazier (ankle) ramped up his running program Wednesday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier did some sprinting incorporated with some stopping and starting and reported no issues afterwards, noting after Wednesday's session that this was "the best" his ankle has felt since landing on the injured list last week. While he's certainly trending in the right direction, the outfielder still remains without a concrete timetable for his return.

Frazier (ankle) took batting practice on the field prior to Tuesday's game against the Diamondbacks, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier continues to make solid progress on the way back from a left ankle sprain, although the Yankees still haven't unveiled an exact timetable for his return. His next step will likely be to face live pitching, either in a simulated game or while on a rehab assignment.

Frazier (ankle) was hitting in batting cages prior to Sunday's game against the Giants on Sunday, Coley Harvey of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier said he didn't feel anything negative in his injured ankle either during or after swinging, a positive sign for his eventual return. Though he will have several more steps in the rehab process, this is the first news of Frazier doing any type of baseball activity since being placed on the injured list.

The Yankees placed Frazier (ankle) on the 10-day injured list Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Just as manager Aaron Boone suggested would be the case following Wednesday's win over the Angels, Frazier will become the 15th different Yankees player to land on IL. He's one of five outfielders currently populating the IL, joining Aaron Hicks (back), Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder), Aaron Judge (oblique) and Jacoby Ellsbury (foot). None of those injured players look especially close to returning, so Mike Tauchman and Tyler Wade could enjoy some decent job security as the Yankees' primary corner outfielders.

Frazier (ankle) is going on the IL and will be out 10-to-14 days, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier becomes the latest Yankee to hit the IL, and also the latest player to be overly optimistic about his chances of playing the next day following an injury. Tyler Wade will continue to get more playing time as a result of Frazier's injury.

Frazier (ankle) was sent for an MRI on Wednesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier suffered a sprained left ankle while running the bases Monday, and the issue apparently hasn't healed as planned, prompting the Yankees to send him for additional testing. Look for his status to be updated once his test results are disclosed.

Frazier (ankle) is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier will remain on the bench for a second straight game as he continues to nurse a left ankle sprain. The outfielder's absence Tuesday was deemed precautionary, and he was reportedly available off the bench (though he went unused), so it doesn't sound like he's in line for an extended absence. Frazier should be considered day-to-day. Tyler Wade, Brett Gardner and Mike Tauchman are starting from left to right in the outfield for the Yankees on Wednesday.

Frazier (ankle) is available off the bench Tuesday against the Angels, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier sprained his left ankle in Monday's 14-inning game, and while he is out of the lineup the following day, his absence is precautionary. Manager Aaron Boone noted that Frazier was going to get a day off at some point, and it happens to coincide with him tweaking his ankle. Tyler Wade gets the start in his place.

Frazier (ankle) will sit Tuesday against the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier injured his ankle running the bases in the series opener, but stated after the game that the injury is minor. The Yankees will be cautious regardless and sit the outfielder. Mike Tauchman will start in right field and Tyler Wade will start in left field with Frazier sidelined.

Frazier said after Monday's 4-3 win over the Angels in 14 innings that he sprained his left ankle during the contest, but he believes it's only a minor issue and nothing that will prevent him from playing Tuesday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier hurt the ankle while running the bases in the Yankees' marathon victory, but he was able to stay in the game and score the go-ahead run. While the Yankees would probably prefer to hold Frazier out if he's not 100 percent Tuesday, the team's ever-growing injured list makes it likely that the outfielder will get the green light to play if his sore ankle isn't too much of a hindrance during pregame workouts. Frazier's availability will likely be confirmed when the Yankees release their lineup in the hours leading up to Tuesday's 10:07 p.m. EDT opening pitch.
