Goes deep in loss Frazier went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

Impressive in Baltimore debut Frazier went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, a stolen base and three runs scored in Thursday's 10-9 win over the Red Sox.
Impact Frazier's power was virtually non-existent with the Mariners last year -- he had just three home runs, 22 doubles and a career-worst .311 slugging percentage in 156 games. Getting out of Seattle should help his bat a bit, though he's never had more than 10 homers in a season. The 31-year-old is expected to see most of his time at second base in 2023, but he can also play in the corner outfield, so he should be in the lineup more often than not.

Starting in outfield Frazier is starting in right field and batting eighth Friday versus the Yankees, Jake Rill of MLB.com reports.
Impact Frazier will make his first start in the outfield for the Orioles after joining the team this offseason. With Ramon Urias (thumb) and Jorge Mateo expected to be regular starters at second base and shortstop, Frazier is likely to make the occasional start in the outfield in order to keep his bat in the lineup. For fantasy purposes, having dual eligibility gives him extra value, especially if he can return to his 2021 form -- a season in which he produced a .305 batting average with 46 extra-base hits, 43 RBI, 83 runs and 10 stolen bases over 155 games with the Pirates and Padres.

Slow start in spring Frazier is 3-for-19 with a double, a walk, one strikeout and three runs scored across eight Grapefruit League games.
Impact Frazier hasn't hit well in the spring, but it's not much to be concerned about for a veteran. The 31-year-old is expected to be the Orioles' Opening Day second baseman, though he could ultimately end up filling the strong side of platoon at the keystone. Ramon Urias is Baltimore's top right-handed option in a variety of spots, so he could occasionally spell left-handed hitters like Frazier at second and Gunnar Henderson at third.

Heads to Baltimore The Orioles signed Frazier to a one-year, $8 million contract Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Impact Frazier's poor contract year with the Mariners, in which he posted a career-worst .612 OPS in 156 games, results in a modest free-agent deal. The 31-year-old figures to get regular playing time in Baltimore and plenty of opportunities to return to his 2021 form. In that season he slashed .305/.368/.411 with the Pirates and Padres. Frazier also provides a bit of value on the bases, as he's stolen 21 bases over the last two seasons.
