Frazier was sent down because he needs to play, and he wasn't going to get that opportunity when Stanton and Judge return. Lets face it, Stanton, Judge and Hicks aren't the poster boys for the perfect attendance award. All, have missed significant time. Frazier can better replace the offense lost if one of the three is going to be out for significant time then Gardner or Maybin. As the July 31 deadline gets closer, the playoff picture will become a little clearer and more teams will be inclined to get rid of salaries. The Yanks will also have a better idea of what contributions, if any, they can expect from Severino, Montgommery and Betances this season.
