Frazier is starting in left field and batting seventh in the second game of Monday's doubleheader against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier was activated from the injured list Saturday following an absence of a little more than a month due to an appendectomy, though he's yet to record an at-bat since returning. The outfielder has played in only 11 games this season, recording a .143/.250/.238 slash line with no home runs or RBI. He won't be on the fantasy radar unless he's able to secure regular playing time moving forward.

Frazier (appendectomy) was activated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, though he won't be in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Tim Stebbins of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier has dealt with an unfair amount of uncommon ailments throughout his career, and he hasn't been any luckier thus far this season. He wound up missing more than a month due to appendicitis but is ready to go after appearing in eight rehab games. He struggled to a .525 OPS over that stretch and had a .488 OPS in 10 major-league games prior to his absence, but he should still have the shot to carve out a role going forward, particularly against left-handers.

Frazier (appendectomy) is scheduled to play a full game in the outfield Tuesday for Triple-A Iowa, Maddie Lee of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tuesday will mark the sixth game of Frazier's rehab assignment as he works his way back into playing shape following a three-week shutdown due to an appendectomy. Through his first five games with Iowa, Frazier has gone 3-for-17 with two doubles, two walks, three runs and an RBI. He'll likely fill a reserve role in the Chicago outfield once he's ready to return from the 10-day injured list.

Frazier (appendectomy) will report to Triple-A Iowa to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier spent the past week playing in rehab games at the Cubs' extended spring training, and he'll now progress to playing in minor-league contests. The 27-year-old expects to require five games with Iowa before potentially rejoining the big-league roster May 23 in Cincinnati.

Frazier (appendectomy) is heading to the Cubs' spring training facility in Arizona to play in rehab games, Andy Martinez of Marquee Sports Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier underwent an appendectomy April 22 and is moving closer to his return to the Cubs. It's unclear whether the 27-year-old will also be sent to a minor-league affiliate for a rehab assignment or if the action in Arizona will be enough for him to be activated from the injured list.

Frazier underwent a successful appendectomy Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier was placed on the injured list Friday, and it turns out he also went under the knife the same day. Frazier is reportedly "doing well" after the procedure, but he will presumably miss more than the minimum 10 days, and no timeline for his return has been established.

Frazier (appendicitis) was placed on the 10-day injured list Friday, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier hasn't had much playing time early in the year, but he'll now be unavailable while dealing with appendicitis. Alfonso Rivas was recalled by the Cubs to provide depth while Frazier is sidelined.

Frazier will be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to appendicitis, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier has started just five games this season, but he'll be forced to miss at least a week and a half due to his appendicitis. The 27-year-old has hit just .143 with two doubles and three runs this year, and it's not yet clear whether he'll spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the shelf.

Frazier is starting in left field and batting leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier has been limited to serving as the designated hitter or making appearances as a pinch hitter and runner so far this season. He's gone 2-for-14 at the plate, and unless he starts to see more playing time, he won't have a ton of fantasy appeal except for in daily formats on days when he starts.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's Opening Day game against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier is getting a fresh start in Chicago after signing a one-year deal with the Cubs over the winter following a tumultuous, injury-laden run with the Yankees. Though he enjoyed a productive spring with a .785 OPS over 12 Cactus League games, Frazier looks like he'll have to settle for a role as the team's fourth or fifth outfielder to begin the regular season. Still just 27 years old, Frazier remains an intriguing talent, but he'll first need to stay healthy and wait for an opportunity to open up in the Chicago outfield before he warrants attention outside of NL-only leagues.
