Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier homered off Jeff Samardzija for the only run of Wednesday's game against the Cubs.

Frazier's strikeout rate is up this year, but he's managed six homers and 18 RBI in 21 games anyway. Time will tell if he'll be able to maintain a .260+ average, but the power numbers are pretty legit.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier had a big night Thursday against the Marlins, going 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and three runs scored.

He also drew a walk. Frazier went through a lull after a red-hot first week, but he's now gone deep in consecutive games and has five longballs and 14 RBI for the season to go along with a .298 batting mark. He should continue to be a fine option at the hot corner for fantasy owners.

Todd Frazier is not in Friday's lineup against the Pirates.

Frazier is hitless in his last 12 at-bats, so Reds manager Dusty Baker is just giving him a breather. Jack Hannahan will start in his place at the hot corner.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier went 4-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI in the Reds' blowout win over the Nationals on Friday.

Frazier smacked a solo homer in the second inning, a two-run homer in a seven-run seventh (which also included a grand slam from Xavier Paul) and an RBI single in the eighth. He also stole a base and scored three runs. Frazier launched 19 home runs in 128 games as a rookie last season and has the potential to emerge as a top-12 option at third base in fantasy leagues this year.

Todd Frazier launched a two-run homer Thursday against the Athletics.

The dinger came off of Brett Anderson in the second inning. Frazier has had a solid spring, batting .270 with three homers and eight RBI. He'll be the regular third baseman in 2013 after moving around the diamond during his rookie season.

Todd Frazier (calf) returned to the Reds' lineup Thursday.

Frazier sat out a few days with a tender calf. The 27-year-old will be the club's regular third baseman this season after a fine rookie campaign.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Reds general manager Walt Jocketty said Todd Frazier is "penciled in as our third baseman next year."

It's hardly a surprising declaration, as Scott Rolen is a free agent and reportedly leaning towards retirement, clearing the way for Frazier to take over at the hot corner. Jocketty did use the caveat "right now" when discussing Frazier and third base, perhaps leaving the door open for him to be moved to left field should they find another third baseman. That seems unlikely, though.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier delivered a sacrifice fly in the first inning on Friday, accounting for the only run in the Reds 1-0 victory over the Pirates in Pittsburgh.

Frazier finished the night 0-for-3. His lone RBI provided more than enough support for Homer Bailey however, who twirled a dazzling no-hitter to lead the Reds to victory. For his part, Frazier is enjoying a tremendous rookie campaign, hitting .276/.334/.505 with 19 homers and 66 RBI.

Reds manager Dusty Baker said Monday that Todd Frazier will not play shortstop even if Zack Cozart (oblique) requires an extended absence.

John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer previously speculated that it could be a possibility, but Baker shot that one down Monday. Wilson Valdez and rookie Didi Gregorius will continue to split playing time until Cozart is ready.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier had another strong night at the plate, going 2-for-4 with a two-run triple in Tuesday's 5-2 victory over the Diamondbacks in Arizona.

Frazier singled and came around to score the Reds first run on a wild pitch as part of a three-run third inning. He then delivered a pair of valuable insurance runs with a two-run triple off Matt Lindstrom in the eighth inning. He's now hitting .295 with 18 homers and 62 RBI, and should be in no danger of losing his grip on everyday at-bats once Joey Votto returns over the weekend.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier stayed hot in Friday's loss to the Cardinals, going 3-for-4 plus a walk with a run scored and an RBI.

He's been sizzling for the entire month of August, hitting .360 (31-for-86) with six homers, 22 RBI and a pair of steals over 24 games. He's enjoying one of the most impressive breakout efforts in all of baseball this season, and seems to have solidified himself as a major league regular.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Todd Frazier continued his impressive rookie season, driving home all three Reds runs in Thursday’s extra-inning loss to the Phillies.

Frazier finished the night 1-for-5. He got the Reds on the board with an RBI groundout in the first inning, then extended the lead to 3-0 with a two-run double off Cole Hamels in the sixth. He’s now hitting .293 with 18 homers and 58 RBI on the season.

Todd Frazier - 3B - Reds

Reds manager Dusty Baker indicated that Todd Frazier's playing time will be cut significantly upon Joey Votto's (knee) return.

Frazier has had a terrific year, and the Reds would be better off playing him at third over Scott Rolen, but the Reds love Rolen's glove, and his bat has come on recently. "It's fortunate for us that we have him and fortunate for him that he could show what he can do," Baker said. "At some point in time, the world is going to be his. Now it's partially his, which isn't a bad spot to be in."
