Yankees Injury Update: Clint Frazier reinstated from 10-day DL

By -
Earlier this morning, the Yankees activated outfielder Clint Frazier from the 10-day disabled list.  Frazier had spent the last month on the disabled list recovering from a strained left oblique and had been rehabbing with double-A Trenton in the Eastern League playoffs the past week.   




Frazier went just 2-for-17 with a concerning 10 strikeouts during his rebab stint, however, the Yankees will activate him to the major league roster today, and it's likely he'll see action in at least one of the three 'road' games this week, as the Yankees return home to New York to face the Tampa Bay Rays at Citi Field.

Prior to being placed on the DL, Frazier was hitting .247/.274/.477 with 15 extra-base hits (four HRs) and 17 runs batted in, but he was on a bit of a cold streak prior to his injury, going just 7-for-45 (.167) with one home run and a poor .222 on-base percentage over his final ten games. 

Frazier adds more outfield depth as the Yankees chase down their first playoff appearance since 2015, and with Aaron Hicks possibly done for the season with a second oblique injury of his own, Frazier should see regular playing time over the team's final 20 games, even considering the recent hot streaks for Jacoby Ellsbury and Aaron Judge.  The Yankees will want to keep all of their regulars rested heading into the playoffs, and if Frazier can catch fire over the final 20 games, he very well just might earn himself a spot on the 25-man playoff roster.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
