Frazier went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run Thursday against the Astros.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier was out of the lineup Wednesday, but he returned to smack his third home run of the season Thursday. After a dreadful start to the season, Frazier has quietly delivered all three of his long balls in his past six starts. Even so, he's still hitting just .151/.295/.315 across 88 plate appearances on the campaign and is regularly losing playing time to Brett Gardner.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Brett Gardner will bat ninth and fill in in left field in place of Frazier, who will take a seat after making six consecutive starts. Frazier recorded only three hits in 19 at-bats during that stretch, but he at least provided his first two home runs of the season.

Frazier went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, one walk and a strikeout in Friday's 10-0 win over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier remained in the starting lineup Friday even with Aaron Judge back from lower-body soreness, and the 26-year-old stayed hot with his second homer in the last three games. Frazier has gotten off to a fairly slow start this season and is hitting .156 with two home runs, six runs and three RBI.

Frazier went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double in Wednesday's 7-0 win over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier provided an insurance run with a solo shot in the eighth inning, which was the last run of the game. The outfielder has struggled early in 2021 with a .158/.304/.263 slash line, one home run, two RBI and five runs scored across 69 plate appearances. He started in right field Wednesday, but Frazier could retreat to the bench when Aaron Judge (lower body) gets back in the starting nine.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
After going hitless with four walks and four strikeouts in the first three games of the series, Frazier will get a breather in the finale. With a right-hander (Triston McKenzie) on the hill for Cleveland, manager Aaron Boone will swap the righty-hitting Frazier out of the lineup for a lefty bat in Brett Gardner, who will serve as the Yankees' leadoff man.

Frazier is not in Tuesday's lineup against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Aaron Boone is looking to jump-start his offense by mixing in Brett Gardner, Mike Tauchman and Mike Ford while Frazier and Aaron Hicks head to the bench. It's possible Frazier is pressing a little, as he is 1-for-24 with 12 strikeouts over his last seven games.

Frazier isn't starting Saturday's game against Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier will retreat to the bench with right-hander Tyler Glasnow on the mound for the Rays on Saturday. Brett Gardner will start in left field, batting sixth.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays and right-handed starting pitcher T.J. Zeuch, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Frazier continues to share time in the corner outfield with Brett Gardner, who will draw back into the starting nine after Frazier had started both of the previous two days. Considering that both of Frazier's starts versus Toronto came against left-handed starting pitchers, he could be stuck in the shorter side of a platoon with Gardner.

Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
After bowing out of the lineup Saturday with a right-hander (Chris Archer) on the hill, Frazier will take a seat again for the series finale while the Rays trot out right-hander Brent Honeywell as their opener and right-hander Michael Wacha as their primary pitcher. Though manager Aaron Boone hasn't indicated that Frazier has lost hold of an everyday job, the 26-year-old's consecutive benchings in favor of Brett Gardner certainly isn't an encouraging development. Frazier has gone hitless with six strikeouts in 13 at-bats over his last three starts, dropping his season slash line to .200/.286/.280.
