Losing reps to Grissom Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Though it's not unusual for him to hit the bench against lefties like the White Sox's Noah Schultz, the left-handed-hitting Frazier is also beginning to see his playing time against right-handed pitching fall by the wayside. Frazier has been on the bench for three of the Angels' last four matchups versus right-handed pitching, with manager Kurt Suzuki opting to move Vaughn Grissom out of a platoon role and giving him a longer look as a near-everyday player. Frazier's downturn in opportunities comes while the 34-year-old has batted just .154 with a 37 percent strikeout rate over his last 12 games.

Idle again Sunday Frazier is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mets.

Impact On the bench for the second straight matchup versus a right-handed starter (Clay Holmes), Frazier's grip on a strong-side platoon role at the keystone could be loosening. Vaughn Grissom will receive another start at second base in place of Frazier after going 1-for-5 with two RBI in Saturday's 4-3 extra-inning win.

Sitting down Saturday Frazier isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact Frazier has gone 4-for-15 with an RBI and two runs scored over his last five games, but he'll take a seat against Nolan McLean and the Mets. Vaughn Grissom will start at the keystone and bat seventh.

Idle against lefty again Frazier is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact The Angels are facing a left-handed starting pitcher (Anthony Kay) for the fifth time in six games, and the left-handed-hitting Frazier's lone start during that stretch has come against a right-hander. Frazier looks poised to remain in a strict platoon at second base with the right-handed-hitting Vaughn Grissom, who will occupy the keystone Monday.

Out vs. LHP in second straight game Frazier is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports.

Impact After a stretch of four consecutive starts -- all against right-handed pitching -- Frazier will hit the bench for the second day in a row while the Angels face another left-handed starter (Eric Lauer). Vaughn Grissom will receive the nod at second base Wednesday while the Angels continue to take a platoon approach to the keystone.

Receiving more chances against RHPs Frazier will start at second base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

Impact For the Angels' third straight matchup versus a right-handed starting pitcher (Luis Gil), Frazier will receive the nod at second base. Over a limited sample of 26 plate appearances this season, Frazier has produced a strong .848 OPS, so he could hold the edge at keystone over Oswald Peraza and Vaughn Grissom until his bat inevitably cools down.

Not starting against righty Frazier is absent from the lineup for Thursday's opener in Houston.

Impact It's right-hander Hunter Brown on the bump for the Astros, but the left-handed-hitting Frazier will yield to righty Oswald Peraza at second base. There's a good chance the two will wind up sharing the position rather than operating in a straight platoon.

Contract selected The Angels selected Frazier's contract from Triple-A Salt Lake on Tuesday.

Impact The 34-year-old emerged as the frontrunner to begin the season as the Angels' primary second baseman once the club sent Christian Moore and Kyren Paris to the minors last week, and Frazier's addition to the active roster makes it even more likely that will be the case. He made a strong case for himself to make the big-league squad, slashing .281/.452/.375 with six RBI and four runs scored over 18 games during spring training. He'll most likely work in a platoon at the keystone with Oswald Peraza -- a situation that will still allow the lefty-hitting Frazier to start more often than not.

Looks to be in lead for 2B job Frazier appears to be the leading candidate to open the season as the Angels' top second baseman after Christian Moore and Kyren Paris were optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Saturd...

Impact The Angels thinned the competition further by reassigning Nick Madrigal to minor-league camp, leaving Frazier, Oswald Peraza and Vaughn Grissom (hand) as the main contenders for playing time at the keystone. Peraza's and Grissom's chances of making the Opening Day roster are aided by the fact that neither has minor-league options remaining, but as the lone left-handed hitter of the trio, Frazier -- who is attending camp as a non-roster invitee -- may actually have better odds of seeing the bulk of the at-bats at second base to begin the season. A career .264 hitter, Frazier possesses strong contact skills, but his lack of power and modest speed limits his overall fantasy appeal. The 34-year-old hasn't logged more than 500 plate appearances in a season since 2022 and isn't a good bet to hold down a regular starting job throughout the campaign. Expect Frazier to eventually shift into a utility role once the Angels decide that Moore is ready for an extended run as their everyday second baseman.
