Heading to injured list Frazier will be placed on the 10-day injured list Friday due to appendicitis, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Frazier has started just five games this season, but he'll be forced to miss at least a week and a half due to his appendicitis. The 27-year-old has hit just .143 with two doubles and three runs this year, and it's not yet clear whether he'll spend more than the minimum of 10 days on the shelf.

Starting Sunday Frazier is starting in left field and batting leadoff in Sunday's game against the Rockies.
Impact Frazier has been limited to serving as the designated hitter or making appearances as a pinch hitter and runner so far this season. He's gone 2-for-14 at the plate, and unless he starts to see more playing time, he won't have a ton of fantasy appeal except for in daily formats on days when he starts.

Ian Happ gets 3 hits as Cubs beat Brewers 5-4 on opening day
Ian Happ had three hits, including a tiebreaking two-run double in the seventh inning, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 5-4 on opening dayAPRIL 7, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Won't start Opening Day Frazier is out of the lineup for Thursday's Opening Day game against the Brewers.
Impact Frazier is getting a fresh start in Chicago after signing a one-year deal with the Cubs over the winter following a tumultuous, injury-laden run with the Yankees. Though he enjoyed a productive spring with a .785 OPS over 12 Cactus League games, Frazier looks like he'll have to settle for a role as the team's fourth or fifth outfielder to begin the regular season. Still just 27 years old, Frazier remains an intriguing talent, but he'll first need to stay healthy and wait for an opportunity to open up in the Chicago outfield before he warrants attention outside of NL-only leagues.

Off to good start Frazier went 1-for-2 with a double in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Athletics and is batting .375 overall this spring.
Impact It's a small sample size of just four games, but Frazier looks comfortable so far with his new team. The 27-year-old never really broke through like he was expected to with the Yankees, so maybe a change of scenery will be good for him, particularly if he can earn more playing time. Frazier will be vying for at-bats at DH and as a reserve outfielder for the Cubs, though he could expand his role if he produces in the early going.

Could serve as DH with new team Frazier will likely be one of several players that Chicago manager David Ross rotates into the designated hitter spot this season, Gordon Wittenmyer of NBC Sports Chicago reports.
Impact Frazier joined the Cubs in November, and with Ian Happ (elbow) on the mend following surgery in February, the former may see time in left field early on. However, a healthy Happ makes the outfield more crowded, with Rafael Ortega in center and Jason Heyward patrolling right. That could mean more time as the DH for Frazier, though Happ, Willson Contreras and Nick Madrigal (hamstring) are also candidates to see time there.
