Still seen as starting left fielder Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that he still sees Frazier as the team's starting left fielder in 2021, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Impact Boone said Wednesday that Frazier would likely start in left field to begin the 2021 season, but the team re-signed Brett Gardner on Friday. While Gardner should see a fair amount of playing time in the outfield, Frazier is still in line for a starting role early in spring training. The 26-year-old has struggled to get consistent at-bats over his first several seasons with the team but slashed .267/.394/.511 with eight home runs and 26 RBI over 39 games in 2020. It's worth noting that Frazier and Gardner hit from opposite sides of the plate.

Tabbed as top left fielder Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that he envisions Frazier serving as the team's starting left fielder in 2021, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
Impact Over his first three full seasons in the organization, Frazier struggled to find consistent at-bats in a deep outfield, but he seemingly earned himself an everyday role on the heels of a minor breakout campaign in 2020. The 26-year-old finished as the Yankees' third-best hitter in terms of wRC+ (149) last season, slashing .267/.394/.511 with eight home runs and three stolen bases over 160 plate appearances. Frazier could slot lower in the batting order more frequently in 2021 if Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge can demonstrate better health, but the Yankees' star-studded lineup should still afford him plenty of run-scoring and run-producing opportunities out of a bottom-third spot.
