• Angels' Adam Frazier: Looks to be in lead for 2B job

  Rotowire Mar 15, 2026

  Frazier appears to be the leading candidate to open the season as the Angels' top second baseman after Christian Moore and Kyren Paris were optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. The Angels thinned the competition further by reassigning Nick Madrigal to minor-league camp, leaving Frazier, Oswald Peraza and Vaughn Grissom (hand) as the main contenders for playing time at the keystone. Peraza's and Grissom's chances of making the Opening Day roster are aided by the fact that neither has minor-league options remaining, but as the lone left-handed hitter of the trio, Frazier -- who is attending camp as a non-roster invitee -- may actually have better odds of seeing the bulk of the at-bats at second base to begin the season. A career .264 hitter, Frazier possesses strong contact skills, but his lack of power and modest speed limits his overall fantasy appeal. The 34-year-old hasn't logged more than 500 plate appearances in a season since 2022 and isn't a good bet to hold down a regular starting job throughout the campaign. Expect Frazier to eventually shift into a utility role once the Angels decide that Moore is ready for an extended run as their everyday second baseman.

• Angels' Adam Frazier: Goes to Angels on NRI deal

  Rotowire Feb 16, 2026

  Frazier agreed Monday with the Angels on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to spring training, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. Frazier split his time last season between the Pirates and Royals, finishing with a .267/.319/.365 batting line and seven home runs over 134 contests. The 34-year-old has a decent chance to capture a reserve role with the Angels, providing depth at second base, third base and the corner-outfield spots.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Notches 20th double

  Rotowire Sep 24, 2025

  Frazier went 2-for-5 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 8-4 win over the Angels. Frazier stretched the Royals' lead with a two-run double in the seventh inning, though he was cut down trying to stretch it into a triple. The light-hitting second baseman owns just a .683 OPS through 129 games, but Tuesday's double was his 20th of the year -- his seventh season with 20 or more. The 33-year-old has been steady at the plate lately, collecting hits in seven of his past eight contests.

  Rotowire Sep 14, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Starts comeback effort with homer

  Rotowire Sep 4, 2025

  Frazier went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 win over the Angels. Frazier hit the first of the Royals' four solo shots to spark the comeback win. He continues to see a starting role between second base, designated hitter and the corner outfield, and he's earned a strong share of playing time by going 12-for-38 (.316) over his last 11 games. Frazier is up to a .270/.322/.373 slash line with six homers, 38 RBI, 37 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 116 games between the Royals and the Pirates this season.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Stepping out of lineup Thursday

  Rotowire Aug 21, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Rangers. The left-handed-hitting Frazier had started in each of the Royals' last 10 games while occupying four different spots (designated hitter, second base, third base and left field), but he'll take a seat for the series finale as Texas sends a lefty (Patrick Corbin) to the bump. Kansas City could get another impact bat in Jac Caglianone (hamstring) back from the injured list this weekend, but Frazier's versatility and solid production since being acquired from the Pirates over the All-Star break (.301/.333/.434 slash line in 26 games) should allow him to retain a near-everyday role.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Goes deep Sunday

  Rotowire Aug 17, 2025

  Frazier went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's win against the White Sox. Frazier doubled and scored a run in the seventh inning before adding a two-run shot in the eighth. It was his first home run since Aug. 1 and second in 23 games since being traded to the Royals. Frazier has provided a nice boost to Kansas City's offense; he's gone 25-for-76 (.329) in those 23 contests. For the season, Frazier is slashing .273/.327/.370 with 20 extra-base hits and 34 RBI through 344 plate appearances.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Not starting Saturday

  Rotowire Aug 9, 2025

  Frazier is not in the Royals' starting lineup against the Twins on Saturday. Frazier will take a seat after going 0-for-4 in Friday's series opener. Randal Grichuk, Kyle Isbel and Mike Yastrzemski will start in the outfield from left to right for the Royals on Saturday. Frazier has gone 5-for-24 (.208) with one home run and four RBI in seven games since the beginning of August.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Handling regular role

  Rotowire Aug 4, 2025

  Frazier will start at designated hitter and bat seventh in Monday's game against the Red Sox. Frazier will remain in the lineup for a seventh straight game after going 5-for-23 with a home run, a stolen base, four runs and three RBI. He's picked up starts at five different positions -- second base, third base, left field right field and now DH -- and should remain a fixture in the lineup against right-handed pitching, at least until Jac Caglianone (hamstring) returns from the injured list.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Breaks home-run drought Friday

  Rotowire Aug 2, 2025

  Frazier went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 9-3 win over the Blue Jays. Frazier gave the Royals a commanding seven-run lead in the ninth, when he took Mason Fluharty deep to right field for a two-run homer. It was Frazier's fourth home run of the season and first since June 1 against the Padres. The veteran outfielder has started in each of the Royals' last four games, and he should continue to see a bump in playing time for as long as Jac Caglianone (hamstring) is on the 10-day injured list.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Handling bench role Monday

  Rotowire Jul 21, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cubs. Since being acquired from the Pirates over the All-Star break, Frazier has started in just one of the Royals' four games to begin the second half. Though his playing-time outlook was expected to improve with the move to Kansas City, Frazier may end up taking a back seat to both John Rave and Nick Loftin when it comes to picking up starts in the corner outfield or at second base.

• Royals' Adam Frazier: Heading back to Kansas City

  Rotowire Jul 16, 2025

  The Royals acquired Frazier from the Pirates on Wednesday in exchange for infielder Cam Devanney, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports. Frazier spent the 2024 season in Kansas City and evidently made a positive impression despite slashing just .202/.282/.294 over 104 contests. The 33-year-old hasn't been much better in 2025 with a .255/.318/.336 batting line, but he offers some versatility and could see reps at second base and/or in left field against right-handed pitching.

• Pirates' Adam Frazier: Fading into reserve role

  Rotowire Jul 2, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. The left-handed-hitting Frazier will hit the bench for the Pirates' third straight matchup with a right-hander (Sonny Gray) and appears to have moved back into a utility role. Though he's posted a .762 OPS while batting .306 dating back to May 20, Frazier has been overtaken in left field by Tommy Pham, who offers more power upside with four extra-base hits (two home runs, two doubles) in his last seven contests.

• Pirates' Adam Frazier: Idle against righty

  Rotowire Jun 30, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Cardinals. The left-handed-hitting Frazier had batted out of the leadoff spot in both of the Pirates' previous two matchups with righties, but he'll be left out of the lineup entirely Monday while St. Louis sends right-hander Erick Fedde to the hill. Tommy Pham will take over Frazier's spot in left field, while Spencer Horwitz tops the batting order for Pittsburgh.

• Pirates' Adam Frazier: Sitting in second straight game

  Rotowire Jun 23, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Brewers. Frazier has served as a strong-side platoon player in left field for the past two weeks, but after posting a .513 OPS during that stretch, he could be in danger of moving into a utility role. He'll be on the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed pitcher (Chad Patrick), affording Tommy Pham another start in left field after he went 3-for-3 with two doubles and three RBI in Sunday's 8-3 win over the Rangers.

• Pirates' Adam Frazier: Idle against righty

  Rotowire Jun 22, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rangers. After picking up starts in the corner outfield in three straight contests while going 3-for-9 with a stolen base, an RBI and a run, Frazier will head to the bench for a breather against righty Jack Leiter. Despite being out of the lineup Sunday, Frazier should continue to occupy a strong-side platoon role in left field, with either Alexander Canario or Tommy Pham slotting in against southpaws.

• Pirates' Adam Frazier: Exiting starting nine Wednesday

  Rotowire Jun 18, 2025

  Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. The lefty-hitting Frazier had started in seven of the Pirates' previous eight games, but he'll be shielded Wednesday from arguably the game's top lefty in Tarik Skubal. Tommy Pham will replace Frazier in left field and bat eighth.

• Pirates' Adam Frazier: Taking over in left field

  Rotowire Jun 14, 2025

  Frazier went 1-for-4 with a run scored and a stolen base Friday against the Cubs. Frazier looked to be the odd man out when Nick Gonzales returned to the lineup, but Frazier has since overtaken Alexander Canario and Tommy Pham for playing time in left field. He's started four of Pittsburgh's last five games at the position and gone 6-for-20 with three RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in that span.
