Time in Pittsburgh over The Pirates designated Frazier for assignment Monday.
Impact Pittsburgh booted Frazier off the 40-man roster to make room for outfielder Ben Gamel, who was claimed off waivers from Cleveland. Over his 13 games with the Pirates, Frazier went 3-for-35 (.086 average) with no home runs. The 35-year-old's time in the big leagues looks like it could be nearing an end.

Collects two hits in victory Frazier went 2-for-4 in Sunday's 6-5 win against the Cubs.
Impact The 35-year-old has struggled with his timing at the plate -- he's now 5-for-35 in 2021, but Sunday's showing figures to keep him in the lineup with Colin Moran (groin) out for the next couple weeks. Frazier inexplicably took his foot off of first base while covering on a routine ground ball to second base, but the gaffe didn't cost his team. Manager Derek Shelton told 93.7 The Fan on Sunday that Phillip Evans and even Erik Gonzalez could also see time at first base.

Playing time opens up Frazier should see increased playing time at first base after Colin Moran (groin) was placed on the 10-day injured list Sunday, Rob Biertempfel of The Athletic reports.
Impact Moran exited Saturday's contest with the groin issue and will now be sidelined at least 10 days, opening up the starting spot at first base. Frazier has only one hit through his first 31 at-bats of the season, so it could be a brief opportunity if he's unable to get things going offensively.

Gets second start in May Frazier will start at third base and bat seventh Friday against the Cubs.
Impact The 35-year-old has struggled since joining the team, going 3-for-23 with a 3:5 BB:K. Frazier has just one extra-base hit, a double, and will need to show more to stay on the roster. He's hitless in six career at-bats against Friday starter, Trevor Williams.

Ends slump, reaches base thrice Frazier went 1-for-3 with a double, two RBI, a run scored and two walks in Wednesday's loss against the Royals.
Impact Frazier started the season 0-for-14 through his first four games and was benched Tuesday, but he emerged from the day off with his first hit in the form of a two-run double in the bottom of the fifth. The veteran doesn't appear ticketed for a big role following his slow start to the campaign, however, and his opportunities -- particularly in NL parks -- might be limited going forward.

Moves into bench role Frazier is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Royals in Pittsburgh, Kevin Gorman of TribLive.com reports.
Impact After being added to the active roster Thursday, Frazier was able to pick up four consecutive starts in American League parks thanks to the Pirates having the designated hitter available. He failed to capitalize on the steady at-bats, going 0-for-14 with four strikeouts. With the Pirates beginning a five-game homestand Tuesday, Frazier's opportunities will likely be more limited moving forward.

Todd Frazier is both thankful for and realistic about his opportunity with Pirates This season, young as it is, has been unlike any other in Todd Frazier’s career.

Slated to hit free agency The Mets plan to decline Frazier's team contract option Wednesday, Tim Healey of Newsday reports.
Impact Frazier was traded from the Rangers to the Mets in August of 2020, but he'll now search for a new club after his contract was bought out by New York for $1.5 million. The 34-year-old had a career-worst .684 OPS with four home runs and 12 RBI in 2020, and he'll likely have to settle for a part-time role to begin the 2021 campaign.

Contributes to rally Frazier went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 8-5 loss to the Rays.
Impact Frazier went deep in the ninth inning to cut the Mets' deficit to three runs, but that was as close as it got. The 34-year-old is up to four homers, 11 RBI, 16 runs scored and a stolen base in 42 games between the Mets and the Rangers this season.

Opportunities scarce Frazier went 1-for-4 with two strikeouts Tuesday in the Mets' 5-2 win over the Rays.
Impact Starting for just the second time in six games, Frazier looks poised to finish the season as a part-time player while the Mets remain at full strength in the infield. Frazier has supplied a .599 OPS in 10 games since joining the Mets following an Aug. 31 trade from the Rangers.
