Opening Day is a matter of days away, which means the Yankees must continue to cull their roster. Today, the team announced another series of cuts; Clint Frazier was optioned to Triple-A, while pitchers Rex Brothers, Danny Coulombe, Phillip Diehl, and Drew Hutchison were re-assigned to minor league camp.
This concludes what was a hopeful but ultimately frustrating spring training for Frazier. He showed flashes of his evident talents, and encouragingly looked healthy throughout, but managed only a .130/.208/.217 slash line in 53 plate appearances. It’s no surprise that the Yankees sent him down after that performance, but the most important thing for Frazier at this moment is probably his health.
