Frazier is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier receives a day off after starting the past 11 games in the outfield. During that span, the 22-year-old has slashed .213/.260/.383 with one home run and nine RBI. Jacoby Ellsbury draws the start in center while Brett Gardner slides over to left for the series finale.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer Friday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier left the yard for the fourth time this year to break open a close game in the fifth inning of a divisional win. After hitting three homers in his first seven games with the Yankees this year, this was his first blast in 14 contests, though he's still been an excellent addition for fantasy managers as he carries a .282 batting average along with a .564 slugging percentage.

Manager Joe Girardi said that Frazier has leapfrogged Jacoby Ellsbury for playing time in the outfield, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Although the report is that Frazier is expected to return to the minors once Aaron Hicks (oblique) is back from the DL, the top prospect appears to be in line for plenty of playing time until then. The 22-year-old has been a solid producer for the Bronx Bombers during his first cup of coffee in the big leagues, as he's slashing .294/.302/.627 in 14 games in New York. This production, paired with Ellsbury's decline at the dish, have put Frazier in a position to act as the primary left fielder for the Yankees for the time being, moving Brett Gardner into center field.

Frazier will be sent back down to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre once Aaron Hicks (oblique) returns from the DL, George A. King of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Hicks has yet to begin baseball activities since landing on the DL and doesn't have a firm timetable for a return, so nothing is imminent. Frazier has slashed an impressive .298/.306/.638 in 13 games, but with Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, Aaron Judge, and Hicks making up the outfield options, at-bats would be tough to come by. Whenever the 22-year-old does head back down to the minors, it'll likely be a brief stint, as Frazier would figure to be in line to be called back up when rosters expand at the start of September.

Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Friday's series opener against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier is coming off a huge series prior to the All-Star break, in which he went 5-for-11 with two home runs and six RBI against Milwaukee, but will ride the pine to begin the second half of the season. Brett Gardner, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Aaron Judge will patrol the outfield.

Frazier went 3-for-4 with a triple, a homer and four RBI Saturday against the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier blasted his second homer of the year to earn a walk-off victory for the Yankees. He's left the yard in back-to-back contests, and the top prospect is giving the Yankees staff reason for optimism that he can help the club while the team deals with multiple injuries.

Frazier is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Girardi will open up lineup spots for both of his catchers, Austin Romine and Gary Sanchez (who will serve as the DH), so Frazier will head to the bench for the first time since receiving the call to the big leagues. Frazier made a splash in his debut with a home run and a double, but he's failed to record a hit in nine at-bats while starting the past three contests. Frazier should stick around with the big club through at the least the All-Star break, but if he fails to heat up over the next few games, his odds of getting demoted back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will increase.

Frazier will make his fourth consecutive start Tuesday against the Blue Jays. He'll play right field and bat ninth.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees didn't call up their top prospect to rot on the bench, so expect Frazier to continue seeing regular at-bats so long as he sticks with the big club. Though injuries to the likes of Aaron Hicks (oblique) and Matt Holliday (illness) and more indirectly, Starlin Castro (hamstring) and Tyler Austin (hamstring), helped open up a spot with the Yankees for Frazier, the 22-year-old could stay in the majors throughout the second half if his performance warrants it. With a pair of extra base hits through his first three games, Frazier hasn't looked out of place yet.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a double and two runs scored during Saturday's loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier posted a .256/.344/.473 slash line with 12 homers and nine stolen bases through 74 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before being promoted for his major-league debut Saturday. His modest power-speed profile projects to translate to the highest level, and he should see semi-regular playing time for the immediate future.

Frazier will make his big-league debut against the Astros in right field for Saturday's game, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The top prospect will start his major-league career in the ninth spot of the order, while facing Francis Martes and the league-leading Astros. Frazier had been swinging the bat well at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, hitting .257/.345/.474 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI in 73 games this season. He could get a fair amount of time in the lineup with Aaron Hicks (oblique) on the DL while serving as a key cog in the outfield along with Aaron Judge, Brett Gardner and Jacoby Ellsbury.
