Frazier is getting the start at designated hitter and hitting ninth Wednesday in Boston.

It says a lot about what the Pirates think of the lefty-hitting Frazier's bat that they batted him leadoff in the opener against righty Rick Porcello and kept him in the lineup against southpaw Chris Sale in the second game of the season. His playing time should see a major downturn when the Pirates get back to National League play this weekend at home against the Braves, but if an opportunity for more playing time opens up, it's nice to know that Frazier has the full confidence of the field staff.
