Free-agent veteran infielder Adam Frazier signed a guaranteed one-year, $4.5 million deal with the Kansas City Royals on Saturday, according to a source. He'll get $2 million in 2024 and will have an $8.5 million mutual option for the 2025 season that includes a $2.5 million buyout. The 32-year-old veteran will give the rebuilding Royals some veteran leadership on the infield after he slashed .240/.300/.396 with a career-high 13 home runs, 21 doubles, two triples, 60 RBI, 11 stolen bases and 59 runs scored in 141 games with the Baltimore Orioles in 2023. He'll have a much better path to consistent playing time in KC than he did in Baltimore, and he could become the Royals' everyday second baseman over Michael Massey. For fantasy purposes, Frazier lacks power and will reside in a weak lineup, making him nothing more than a middle-infield option in deep mixed or AL-only leagues.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier was 2-for-3 at the plate and drove in two runs despite his team losing to Boston 7-3 on Sunday. Frazier's role has been limited lately as Jordan Westburg has seen more action at second base. However, he has cranked 13 home runs, collected 56 RBI and swiped nine bags on 13 attempts this season. The 31-year-old is slashing .247/.303/.416 and he still remains a viable option, especially in deeper fantasy baseball leagues.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier turned in a big game in a 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins on Friday. Frazier went 3-for-4 with two homers, two runs, and four RBI in the win. The 31-year-old infielder hit a solo shot in the fourth inning and followed that up with a two-run shot in the eighth. Frazier is putting together a career year for the O's as he already has established a career-high in homers (12). Overall, he's slashing .240/.305/.424 with 41 runs, 44 RBI, and seven steals across 271 at-bats.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier is hitting in the leadoff spot Wednesday afternoon against Cleveland Guardians right-hander Shane Bieber. This appears to be confirmation that the leadoff spot against right-handed pitchers belongs to Frazier in the absence of Cedric Mullins who is on the injured list with a groin injury. The move up the lineup is certainly a boon to the 31-year-old's fantasy stock as he has produced a solid combination of power and speed with six homers, seven doubles, a triple, and six stolen bases across 54 games on the season.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier hit a three-run home run in Wednesday's contest against the New York Yankees to spark a comeback win. Frazier has been on a tear lately, hitting safely in 10 of his last 11 games, including three multi-hit efforts. The power has also come around for Frazier, who has six homers on the year, but three have come in his last 10 games. After a down year last year, Frazier is creeping back toward his career average of .277. Frazier is widely available on most major platforms and could be a short-term solution for anyone struggling at second base or outfield.

Baltimore Orioles second baseman Adam Frazier is making the start in right field and is batting eighth on Friday in the team's Grapefruit League game against right-hander Yoendrys Gomez and the New York Yankees. Frazier will have to find some playing time in the outfield in 2023 with the Orioles in order to stay fresh, as Ramon Urias and Jorge Mateo are expected to be the team's starting middle infielders. The 31-year-old really struggled with the Seattle Mariners last year to the tune of a .238/.301/.311 slash line with just three home runs, 42 RBI, 61 runs scored and 11 stolen bases in 602 plate appearances and 156 games. Unless Frazier finds himself in an everyday role eventually with the O's, he'll only be worth looking at for depth in AL-only leagues.

The Baltimore Orioles agreed to a one-year, $8 million deal with free-agent second baseman Adam Frazier on Thursday. Frazier had one of his worst years in the big leagues with the Seattle Mariners last year, slashing .238/.301/.311 with only three home runs, 42 RBI, 61 runs scored and a career-high 11 stolen bases in 602 plate appearances and 156 games. The 31-year-old will be hoping a move to the American League East and a more hitter-friendly environment at Camden Yards will help him bounce back in 2023. Frazier was an All-Star as recently as 2021, when he hit .305/.368/.411 with five home runs, 43 RBI, 83 runs scored and 10 stolen bases in 155 games with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Diego Padres. He has very little power but can offer some modest speed as a middle infielder in fantasy lineups.

Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier had his way on Wednesday against the Washington Nationals, going 2-for-4 with a home run. His home run ended up being the winning run of the 6-4 victory. Frazier's had a difficult year at the dish over 87 games, slashing .229/.291/.304 with three homers, 34 runs, 23 RBI, and three stolen bases. He's never been that relevant in fantasy baseball, and besides everyday at-bats, his relevance has dwindled to non-existent this season.

It's been a rough start to June for Seattle Mariners second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier, as the veteran posted his second consecutive 0-for-4 game on Thursday versus the Baltimore Orioles. After riding a five-game hit streak entering June, Frazier is slashing .200/.222/.280 over the last week with two doubles and an RBI. Always known as a contact hitter with little power, Frazier has just a .276 batting average on balls in play (BABIP) through the first two months of the season. While Frazier ranks in the 97th percentile in strikeout rate (a common occurrence for Frazier), he ranks in just the third percentile in barrel rate and the 11th percentile in average exit velocity. Frazier is a bench player in standard leagues.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Adam Frazier is getting the day off on Monday as the team takes on left-hander Yusei Kikuchi and the Toronto Blue Jays. Abraham Toro will be leading off and covering the keystone for the game. Frazier has been a mainstay in the leadoff spot for the team for most of the year. Over 34 games, he's slashing .259/.333/.363 with one home run, 13 RBI and 18 runs scored. He's got a good amount of value in AL-only leagues for as long as he remains the team's leadoff hitter, but in most other formats he can be left on waivers.

Seattle Mariners' second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier went 2-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, and a run scored in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. He was acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres this offseason and is starting to heat up after a slow start to the year. The 30-year-old has now collected a hit in seven of his last eight contests. Overall, Frazier is slashing .270/.346/.377 with one home run, 13 RBI, 18 runs scored, and one stolen base over 31 games in 2022.

Seattle Mariners second baseman Adam Frazier is out of the starting lineup for Wednesday's game against Dallas Keuchel and the Chicago White Sox. Frazier led off each of the team's first five games of the year, but Abraham Toro will be taking over leadoff duties on Wednesday and he'll also be covering Frazier's usual keystone post. Frazier, who was acquired in a trade with the San Diego Padres this offseason, is off to a slow start to his first year in Seattle. Over five games, he's gone just 4-for-24 with one walk. However, he's managed to continuously put the ball in play as he has just two strikeouts so far.

The Seattle Mariners are acquiring second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier from the San Diego Padres on Saturday in exchange for hard-throwing left-handed reliever Ray Kerr and outfielder Corey Rosier, according to sources familiar with the agreement. Frazier will give the Mariners an upgrade at the keystone and can fill in as an outfielder option if needed, too. The 29-year-old hit .305/.368/.411 with five home runs and 10 stolen bases in 639 plate appearances with the Padres and Pittsburgh Pirates in 2021. Frazier doesn't have much pop, but his elite contact skills are an asset in fantasy. Kerr, 27, had a 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 60 K's in 39 2/3 innings for Double-A Arkansas and Triple-A Tacoma in 2021. Rosier, 22, hit .390/.461/.585 with three homers, 23 RBI and 13 steals in 31 games with Single-A Modesto in his first professional season.

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the San Francisco Giants, according to MLB.com. Frazier has hit .304 with five home runs, 10 stolen bases, and a .777 OPS in 153 games split between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Padres. However, since being traded to the Friars, he's slashing just .263/.325/.328. Jake Marisnick will take his spot in left and bat seventh. The soft-hitting outfielder is slashing .207/.277/.373 with five home runs and four steals over 97 games. Fantasy managers should leave Marisnick on the waiver wire in favor of better options.

San Diego Padres second baseman Adam Frazier is getting a breather on Wednesday as the team faces Scott Kazmir and the San Francisco Giants. Jake Cronenworth is shifting over to cover second base for the game. Frazier has been hot at the plate lately. He's currently riding a seven-game hitting streak and he's slashing .346/.414/.385 over September as a whole. His overall numbers have really taken a hit since he joined the Padres. He had a .324/.388/.448 slash line over 98 games with the Pirates, but he's slashing just .265/.325/.303 across 46 games as a Padre. He certainly appears to be coming around a bit now. We'll see if he's able to stay hot and finish the year strong.

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is not in the starting lineup for the second straight night on Friday. Frazier's absence comes as he has fallen ice cold at the plate, slashing .172/.213/.207 with one extra-base hit, one RBI and four runs scored over his last 16 games. Until he exhibits a significant turnaround at the plate, managers should leave him on the bench for now, and in shallower formats drop him to the waiver wire. With Frazier out, Jurickson Profar is getting the start at second base and is batting eighth in the lineup.

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier compiled three hits and a run scored Sunday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Frazier doubled in the first inning and touched home two batters later on a single by infielder Jake Cronenworth. Since a 4-for-25 slide to start his Padres career, the 29-year-old has collected eight hits and a steal in his past four contests, batting .533 in 15 at-bats. With his elite bat-to-ball skills, Frazier sports a dependable .322/.385/.440 with four homers, six steals and 99 runs-plus-RBI in 471 plate appearances. He should remain a trustworthy source of average and runs in deeper fantasy formats.

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is out of Tuesday's lineup against the Oakland Athletics. The 29-year-old is just 4-for-25 (.160 average) since joining the Padres and will take a seat against A's southpaw Sean Manaea despite a .812 OPS versus lefties. Infielder Jake Cronenworth will stake his normal claim at second base while outfielder Jake Marisnick gets the start in left field. Outfielder Tommy Pham is the designated hitter. Expect Frazier back in the lineup for Wednesday's matinee against Oakland starter Frankie Montas. He should remain a reliable fantasy source for average support and runs down the stretch.

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier is out of Thursday's lineup against the Colorado Rockies. Frazier will take a seat against Rockies left-hander Kyle Freeland, with infielder Jake Cronenworth manning the keystone at cleanup and first baseman Eric Hosmer starting and batting sixth. Interestingly, all three lefties hit well against southpaws. Riding a modest three-game hitting streak, Hosmer is the DFS value play but is hitting just .190 and without an extra-base hit since July 20.

San Diego Padres second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier went 2-for-5 with a couple singles and two runs scored Tuesday against the Oakland Athletics. Leading off in his Friars debut, the 29-year-old did what he does best by collecting knocks, coming around to score on a pair of home runs. Expected to play every day either at the keystone or in left field, Frazier's fantasy stock should see a boost if he continues batting atop the lineup. Overall, Frazier owns a sturdy .325/.388/.448 slash with four homers, five steals and 92 runs-plus-RBI over 433 plate appearances.
