Even with the solid showing, Frazier is hitting only .209 this season with a .090 ISO across 71 plate appearances.

Starting at keystone Friday Frazier is starting at second base and batting eighth against the Marlins on Friday.

Impact Frazier replaced Nick Gonzales in the sixth inning of Thursday's win over Miami after the latter injured his left ankle. With Gonzales being placed on the 10-day IL on Friday, Frazier looks to have a hold on the keystone position for the time being and could remain in lineups against southpaws, whom he's batted .246 against in his career.

Returns to action Friday Frazier (back) will start at second base and bat fifth in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.

Impact Frazier hasn't played in more than a week while dealing with a back issue, but he's feeling up to giving it a go Friday. The veteran is slated to serve in a utility role with the Pirates this season.

MARCH 7 • ROTOWIRE

Battling back issues Manager Derek Shelton said Wednesday that Frazier hasn't played in a spring game since Feb. 26 due to a back injury, Andrew Destin of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact The 33-year-old signed a one-year, $1.525 million contract with the Pirates in January but appeared in just three Grapefruit League games before the back injury surfaced. Frazier could return to game action before the end of the week, which would put him on track for the start of the regular season.

No restrictions in camp Frazier (thumb) took live batting practice against Pirates right-hander Mitch Keller during Wednesday's full-squad workout, Noah Hiles of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

Impact Frazier will begin his second stint in Pittsburgh in 2025 after he signed a one-year, $1.525 million contract with the Pirates in January. He's projected to serve as a utility man for the Pirates, with his playing time likely to be contingent on the health of Pittsburgh's everyday players. During his time with the Royals last season, Frazier produced a career-low .576 OPS and struck out at a career-high 20.1 percent clip over 294 plate appearances.

Back to Pittsburgh on one-year deal The Pirates signed Frazier to a one-year, $1.525 million contract Tuesday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Frazier's first five-and-a-half seasons in the majors were with the Pirates before he made stops with the Padres, Mariners, Orioles and Royals. The 33-year-old slashed only .202/.282/.294 this past season in Kansas City and has managed just a .632 OPS over the last three seasons. It seems likely that Frazier will serve in a utility role in Pittsburgh this season.

Adam Frazier becomes free agent after $8.5 million mutual option with Royals is declined

Kansas City Royals utilityman Adam Frazier became a free agent after his $8.5 million mutual option was declined

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Headed for free agency The Royals declined Frazier's mutual option for 2025 on Thursday, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact Frazier saw only 294 plate appearances in 2024 -- his only campaign with the Royals -- his fewest in a full season since 2016. He also performed poorly by maintaining just a .576 OPS with four home runs and three stolen bases. Frazier may be able to find a major-league deal due to his defensive versatility, though his days as a near everyday starter are likely to be over.
