Frazier (concussion) felt foggy after hitting in the cage Tuesday and is continuing to experience headaches, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier was not in line for a major role to start the season, and may have even opened the year at Triple-A, so this isn't a huge blow to his fantasy value. That said, he's missing out on opportunities to impress the front office and the coaching staff. It would not be surprising if he didn't get back into game action until mid March.

Frazier is dealing with a mild concussion, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier sustained the concussion while making a leaping catch against the wall against the Pirates over the weekend. Manager Aaron Boone said he thinks the 23-year-old will be sidelined for just a few days, though he also noted that may be a little optimistic. Either way, it doesn't sound like Frazier will be forced to miss too much Grapefruit League action. Barring any injuries to the five outfielders ahead of him on the depth chart, he's expected to open the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Frazier is likely headed to Triple-A to begin 2018, Brendan Kuty of the Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
If the Yankees' five outfielders ahead of him on the organizational depth chart are healthy at the end of spring training, Frazier will get everyday at-bats as a key part of the lineup at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Frazier spent time this offseason adjusting his swing, attempting to fix an exaggerated loading mechanism to make more effective use of his bat speed. If injuries create an opportunity for him with the Yankees this season, Frazier may be limited to playing time on the small side of a platoon.

General manager Brian Cashman said Frazier is basically blocked at the big-league level next season, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees seem set on using Brett Gardner, Aaron Hicks and Aaron Judge as their everyday outfielders, with veteran Jacoby Ellsbury working as the reserve, leaving Frazier as the odd man out. He appeared in 39 games for the Yankees last season thanks to injuries; while he flashed some of his high upside, he finished the year with an unremarkable .231/.268/.448 line and 43 strikeouts in 142 plate appearances. He's still viewed as a big part of the Yankees' future, but for now, it appears he'll continue sharpening his skills in the minors while serving as a glorified depth piece.

Frazier is not on the roster for the ALDS against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees will carry four outfielders for the series against the Indians, and manager Joe Girardi elected to carry 12 pitchers instead of adding Frazier into the mix. Since coming off the DL (oblique) in mid-September, Frazier has hit .174/.240/.304 with two extra-base hits and nine strikeouts in 23 at-bats.

Frazier isn't in the lineup Monday against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier came off the disabled list Monday after dealing with an oblique injury for over a month. However, although he's back in full health, the Yankees are waiting to put him in the starting lineup. They'll head into Monday's game with an outfield of Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Aaron Judge.

Frazier (oblique) was activated from the 10-day disabled list Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier is back with the Yankees after spending a month on the shelf with an oblique strain. The 23-year-old was hitting .243/.274/.477 with four homers in 28 big-league games before injuring himself. With Aaron Hicks (oblique) situated on the DL, Frazier could see everyday opportunities down the stretch.

Frazier (oblique) could return at some point this week, George A. King of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Girardi was light on specifics when discussing the 23-year-old's availability, but he did add he expects Frazier to be back "sometime" in the upcoming week. With Aaron Hicks (oblique) recently hitting the DL as well, Frazier could be in line to assume everyday opportunities down the stretch run of the season once activated.

Frazier (oblique) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Wednesday, Sweeny Murti of Sports Radio 66 WFAN reports.
EDGE Analysis
He's been out since Aug. 9, and with Aaron Hicks also hitting the DL with an oblique strain, the Yankees could use the 22-year-old back in the lineup as they try to secure a playoff spot. Frazier will likely play a few games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as they begin the International League playoffs before rejoining the big-league roster.

Frazier (oblique) will embark on a rehab assignment at some point during New York's road trip, which begins Monday in Baltimore, Erik Boland of Newsday Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier continues to work his way back from a left oblique strain that placed him on the disabled list three weeks ago. He's been able to ramp up activity recently, throwing from further distances and taking 50 swings in tee-and-toss drills prior to Monday's game. If he's able to head out during the Baltimore series, he could feasibly return by the end of next weekend if all goes well.
