Yes, at this moment in time Clint Frazier is excess to the Yankees plans. Perhaps even more telling of where he stands in the eyes of the organization is that following Brett Gardner’s placement on the 10-day IL, the Yanks kept both Mike Tauchmann and Cameron Maybin on the 25-man roster, while Frazier is stuck at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
In his last 10 games for the RailRiders, Frazier is batting .289 with nine runs scored, four home runs, five RBIs and an 8:4 K:BB ratio across 38 at-bats.
Add that to the .283/.330/.513 slash line with 11 home runs and 34 RBIs Frazier compiled in 191 at-bats (53 games) with the Yankees this year, and he more than proved he could handle major league pitching.
