The New York Yankees designated outfielder Clint Frazier for assignment on Friday, the team announced.
Frazier appeared in 66 games for the Yankees in 2021, hitting .186/.317/.317 with five home runs and 15 RBIs. Those numbers were significantly lower than his production in 2020 when he slashed .267/.394/.511 with eight homers and 26 RBIs in 39 games.
The 2013 first-round draft choice arrived in New York with huge expectations after he was acquired in a 2016 trade with Cleveland.
Frazier struggled with concussion issues throughout his time in New York. He missed the final three months of the 2021 campaign because of dizziness and vision-related issues.
In addition to Frazier, the Yankees designated infielders Rougned Odor and Tyler Wade for assignment.
Odor, 27, hit .202/.286/.379 with 15 homers and 39 RBIs in 102 games for the Yankees after they acquired him from the Texas Rangers on April 6.
The 26-year-old Wade spent the past five seasons with New York after he was drafted by the Yankees in the fourth round of the 2013 draft. The utility player hit .212/.298/.307 with 33 RBIs and 30 steals during his time in the Bronx.
