MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Although the Yankees haven’t announced who will be called up when rosters expand on September 1, Aaron Boone said that Clint Frazier is “probably” going to be one of them. The outfielder has reportedly been working hard on his defense. Also in this story is a list of all the players headed to the Arizona Fall League.

The team reiterated that just because he will pitch in Triple-A doesn’t mean he is that close to joining the big leagues.
