Clint Frazier’s progress is creating a new high-end problem for the Yankees

By the time Yankees outfielder Aaron Hicks is ready to return from a month-long stint on the disabled list, it’s presumed that rookie Clint Frazier will be the odd man out — bound for a demotion back to Triple-A in order to open up a roster spot.

Well, perhaps it’s not quite time to jump to conclusions on that move, according to Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.

“Listen, there’s only 25 spots. There’s only so much flexibility the roster actually has with people who have options,” Cashman told ESPN’s The Michael Kay Show on Tuesday afternoon.
