TAMPA, Fla. — Clint Frazier discovered the supposed restorative powers of hydration on Wednesday.
When he arrived at Steinbrenner Field, he felt foggy, his head throbbed and his appetite had disappeared — telltale symptoms of the concussion he had been diagnosed with after twice colliding with the wall in an exhibition game Saturday.
Then, on the advice of Russell Wilson, the Seattle Seahawks quarterback who is in camp this week with the Yankees, Frazier began drinking water — and lots of it.
Frazier guzzled six 12-ounce bottles over an hour or so Wednesday morning, and suddenly the symptoms diminished.
