Adam Frazier Battling Back Soreness
Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman Adam Frazier (back) is battling a sore back. Frazier has not been in a spring training contest since February 26. Manager Derek Shelton noted that the plan is for Frazier to appear in games "later in the week." Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his stats but seeing the team express optimism is a positive sign. Earlier in the offseason, the Pirates signed Frazier to a one-year contract worth $1.525 million. The 33-year-old spent the majority of his career with the Pirates after being drafted by them in the 2103 MLB Draft. Last summer, he appeared in 104 contests with the Kansas City Royals and posted a .202/.282/.294 slash line with a solid 20.1 percent K rate. When healthy, Frazier will likely have a utility role in the infield and only carry value in deeper formats.
