Adam Frazier (2B/OF, PIT) - Week 23 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 3% of leagues

ANALYSIS: Pittsburgh Pirates second baseman/outfielder Adam Frazier has found a way into the lineup and onto the fantasy radar. The Pirates have fallen out of the playoff race in recent weeks, but it is not for lack of effort or results from Frazier. The utility man has found his way to regular at-bats and is making the most of them. Demoted to the minor leagues in June, Frazier has hit a scorching .344/.404/.602 with four homers and 32 R+BI since returning to the big club on July 25.

Frazier has a hit in six of the last eight games, including three multi-hit games, and has routinely been hitting second for the Buccos. He had a string of three consecutive multi-RBI games from August 24-26 and even stole a base on September 1.

He is easily worth owning in deep and NL-only leagues, and will merit consideration in shallower formats if this surge persists.
