\n These guys need a boost.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think the off day [Monday] is coming at a good time,\u201d Brett Gardner said Sunday, after his Yankees suffered a walk-off, 4-3 loss to the Rays at Tropicana Field, their fifth loss in seven tries. \u201cWe\u2019ve kind of had a crazy schedule. It\u2019ll be good to take a step back and look at some video and reboot and get back after it on Tuesday.\u201d<\/p>\n

These guys need a fresh face.<\/p>\n

\u201cOverall, we just need to be better collectively as a unit,\u201d Gardner said of the Yankees\u2019 offense.<\/p>\n

These guys need Clint Frazier.<\/p>\n

OK, I plead guilty to being overdramatic. These Yankees (10-6) \u2014 who still lead the American League East by two game<\/a>s over the Rays (8-8) during a season when winning the division won\u2019t bring much reward thanks to the expanded playoff structure \u2014 hardly are in free-fall. Even Sunday\u2019s gut-punch loss brought with it some notable good news<\/a> with the revival of James Paxton, who dominated through six innings, allowing just one hit and striking out 11, before Aaron Boone pushed his luck with the southpaw and paid for it in the seventh.<\/p>\n

As Gardner referenced, however, the Yankees\u2019 ultra-deep offensive core has hit a mild funk. The aforementioned \u201ccrazy schedule\u201d saw those seven games get played during these past five days, and only twice did they exceed their average runs per game of 4.9. They lost one of their top performers Saturday when the perpetually fragile Giancarlo Stanton strained his left hamstring, going on the injured list Sunday.<\/p>\n

And Frazier brings, if nothing else, energy as well as the potential to go on a roll. After a strong spring training 1.0 that saw him in position to be an outfield regular with Stanton and Aaron Judge both injured, he looked strong in spring training 2.0, as well, making the Opening Day roster only to get sent to the alternate site during the first weekend thanks to the healing of Judge and Stanton (temporary, in his case) creating a surplus of bats.<\/p>\n

Stanton is out, though, and Miguel Andujar is down, optioned to the alternate site on Thursday after he began the season a meager 1-for-14. The Yankees made a telling statement Sunday by replacing Stanton with infielder Thairo Estrada rather than Andujar, both men with the club as part of the taxi squad. As per the rules surrounding minor-league options, Andujar must spend 10 days at the alternate site unless he fills the spot of an injured player. So while he could have been tabbed for Stanton, he can\u2019t for Estrada, whose slot Boone said Sunday would be reassessed moving forward.<\/p>\n

It therefore makes sense to replace the bat Stanton with the bat Frazier, who wasn\u2019t on the taxi squad; even if the 25-year-old doesn\u2019t start against a right-handed starting pitcher (the Braves will go with righty Touki Toussaint in the Yankees\u2019 next game, Tuesday in The Bronx), he can serve as a bench weapon against lefty relievers. Shoot, if the Yankees\u2019 starting pitching doesn\u2019t round into shape as well as they hope by the Aug. 31 trade deadline, Frazier could both potentially help the Yankees and showcase himself as a trade chip for a pitcher.<\/p>\n

Boone downplayed any concerns he held about his offense. Said the manager: \u201cYou know when you come here and play these guys that runs are going to be at a premium. They\u2019re very good at run prevention. They do a really good job at that. They have a lot of quality arms. They match up really well. So they make it difficult. I think it\u2019s a little bit of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe still came in here and scored enough to be able to win some games. \u2026 I feel like we should be in a good spot here moving forward with where our guys are.\u201d<\/p>\n

They should be, and Frazier can make it even better. The firebrand seems to have learned from past pinstrip<\/a>ed mistakes, and he even wore a mask during his at-bats in camp, a symbol we could use against the frighteningly large anti-science<\/a> contingent out there.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s see how the Yankees cope with their first 2020 moment of adversity. Let\u2019s see if Frazier can help them deal with it. The rewards clearly outweigh the risks.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
