Pirates' Adam Frazier: Won't miss much more time

Frazier (hamstring) is not expected to miss more than 10 days on the disabled list, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reports.

Analysis:

He was placed on the DL on April 24, putting him on pace to return May 4 (Thursday) or May 5 (Friday). Frazier is batting .306/.370/.449 in 54 plate appearances, showing signs of improved power. His .341 BABIP is slightly lower than last year's .353 mark, supporting his slash line. He continues to struggle defensively (-21.6 UZR/150 at second base), however, and the team is still looking for a spot where it can hide him. In the meantime, Frazier will likely move around both the infield and outfield in order to keep his bat in the lineup.
