Pirates Designate Todd Frazier For Assignment
4 years agoThe Pittsburgh Pirates designated corner infielder Todd Frazier for assignment on Monday. The move was made as a corresponding transaction for outfielder Ben Gamel, who was claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Indians on Sunday. Gamel will be activated for Monday's game against the Cincinnati Reds. Frazier didn't make the Opening Day roster, but the 35-year-old was brought up on April 22. The 11-year MLB veteran had two hits on Sunday to raise his average to .086 (3-for-35) on the season. With Colin Moran on the 10-day injured list and with a surplus of outfielders in Pittsburgh, Phillip Evans could move to first base with Frazier now gone. The Pirates could have other options in outfielder Wilmer Difo or infielder Erik Gonzalez, who last played first base in 2018.
