It has been a mediocre start to the regular season for Kansas City. They are in third place in the American League Central. Frazier will play a large role with the Royals. Frazier will have the opportunity to start with Second Baseman Michael Massey sidelined since June 7. Jonathan India has been filling the role in Massey’s absence. India and Frazier will platoon at the position for the time being.

Final Thoughts

This is a solid move for the Kansas City Royals. They have been stuck in the mud this season. Hopefully, Frazier will provide the team with the jolt they need to play up to their potential over the summer.
