Clint Frazier says he hid concussion from Yankees in 2020

While he’s no longer part of the organization, Clint Frazier is still finding ways to make Yankee news.

The 27-year-old Cub, who was designated for assignment and eventually released by the Yankees in November, told reporters in Chicago that he did not tell the Yankees that he suffered a concussion in 2020 after crashing into the outfield wall. That was Frazier’s second concussion, and by his account, the one that had the greatest negative effect on both his baseball abilities and everyday life.

“It was basically like a hangover every day,” Frazier said in an NBC Sports Chicago interview. “Except I felt slowed down, one step behind. He went on to say that he kept things private because, “I knew what would happen if I didn’t play.”
