Cubs Place Clint Frazier On Injured List, Outright Greg Deichmann

By Darragh McDonald | April 22, 2022 at 5:50pm CDT

The Cubs have placed outfielder Clint Frazier on the 10-day injured list due to appendicitis, reports Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune. (Twitter links) First baseman/outfielder Alfonso Rivas has been recalled to take his place on the active roster. Additionally, outfielder Greg Deichmann has cleared waivers and been outrighted to Triple-A Iowa.

Prior to this year, Frazier had spent his entire big-league career with the Yankees, from his debut in 2017 through 2021. Although he showed the potential to stick around and be a regular feature of the their lineup, he was frequently slowed by injuries and often struggled to get back on track. The Yanks finally gave up on him in November, designating him for assignment. Frazier didn’t linger on the open market for long, signing with the Cubs just about a week after being released. His tenure in Chicago is off to a slow start, as he’s hitting .143/.250/.238 in his first ten games.

Deichmann, who will turn 27 next month, was acquired from the Athletics in the trade that sent Andrew Chafin to Oakland. He made his major league debut for the Cubs with 31 plate appearances after the trade, but struggled mightily to the tune of .133/.161/.133. He’s also gotten off to a rough start in Triple-A this year, hitting .207/.207/.241, though in a small sample of just eight games. Having now cleared waivers, the Cubs can keep him in the system without Deichmann occupying a spot on the 40-man roster. He will now try to earn that roster spot back by showing some of the form that made the club acquire him in the first place. In Triple-A before the trade last year, he hit .300/.433/.452, 131 wRC+.

    Clint might need a stint in KBO at this point. Doubt even a NPB team would take a flier on him.

    It’s cause he don’t play well. He was a waste in New York and now a bigger waste in Chicago. Too much hype and not enough performance.

      You’re right, he isn’t playing well. But do you think the Cubs would put him on the IL with an appendicitis??? Pulled hammy, oblique injury, or similar would be the reason for that.

        He may have chosen to have surgery.

      Way below average defensively. Unless the cubs use him as their primary DH he’s useless to the cubs

    Let’s be nice, fellow Yankees fans. We’ve seen the potential…but…oh boy. You kind of wonder whether he will show up on a minor league contract someplace in a couple of years, and hit like a madman.

      I feel for the kid. Seems like he’s got the talent to perform & doesn’t. Then, when he finally commits & gets the opportunity, he lands on the IL with appendicitis, concussion syndrome, or some other abnormal prohibitive ailment. I’d like to see him have a real shot & just be able to give his all & see if he has it or not.

      Lord knows he’s created enough controversy, whether warranted or not. At some point, probably in arbitration, the juice won’t be worth the squeeze for any team.

      You can literally do the same with every single team & their selections. It’s just that the Yankees are far more publicized than the Marlins or Brewers, etc.

      I don’t buy they’re far more overhyped. I think that narrative plays out on every single team in every farm system across the league, ie, Clint Frazier (Indians), Tyler Naquin, nearly every top draft pick pitcher, etc.

      It speaks to the inherent difficulty in planning your organization around prospects, which is exactly where the Yankees are going wrong. They’re not filling positions because they’re hedging their future on prospects who aren’t proven, ie: Volpe, Peraza, Dominguez, Cabrera.

      But many have worked out as well, and subsequently been traded. Ask the Pirates how they like Roansy Contreras… Look at Clark Schmidt, for another example.

      Point is: some work out, some don’t. It’s not a perfect science & the system is deeply flawed.

    He has had major concussion problems including vertigo. This has really screwed up his career so far.
    He can be a solid player if he can stay healthy.

      I’m glad to see Rivas back in Chicago and I’m hoping that the Cubs do not yo-yo him back and forth between Chicago and Iowa. Cubs need to be careful that they are not careless with his options because the guy can flat out hit. Rivas has great contact skills and I like Madrigal, he actually sprays line drives Vs ground balls.

        He can go back and forth from Iowa to the Cubs as many times this year on the same option. Options last for the year. I think a player gets 3 options, which means he can be sent to the minors without being exposed to waivers for three years.

          Players with options can be optioned 5 times during the season.

    Once he gets back healthy, I would like to see Frazier get some regular playing time in left field. Move Happ to center. Give him a few games to see what he can do. I liked the signing at the time. I still do. But an occasional pinch hitting moment, and DH ing every once in awhile is not enough. May not be a stalwart defender but I bet he can produce offensively better than Heyward.

    Heyward is taking up valuable on roster and needs to be released, Hey Rossy if the team is going to keep Contreras maybe bat him 6 or7 in lineup he does not deserve to be batting 2 or3 just look up his stats with runners on base it’s pathetic Rivas needs to be given real chance. Hey Jed where is the pitching, you said we would be competitive, can’t even beat Pirates, why isn’t Rossy challenging catchers interference on wisdom,he is not doing a very good job
