It would be wrong to call Clint Frazier’s concussion and post-concussion migraines the most costly injuries of the 2018 season for the Yankees. I mean, this is a team that lost Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez for roughly two months each, plus Jordan Montgomery was limited to only six starts. Those were some truly devastating injuries.
Frazier’s injuries were costly though. No doubt. Aaron Hicks got hurt on Opening Day and, nine games into the season, Jace Peterson was starting in left field. The Yankees went through August with Neil Walker and Shane Robinson playing right field. That was all playing time that could’ve gone to Frazier had he been healthy.
