White Sox shutting down Todd Frazier (strained oblique) for time being

Chicago White Sox infielder Todd Frazier suffered an oblique strain on Monday.

What It Means:

The White Sox don't want to risk anything, so they'll probably hold Frazier out for just a few days. Chicago opens the 2017 season on April 3 with a home series against the Detroit Tigers.

2016 could be seen as a bit of a down year for Frazier, as he recorded career-worsts with a .225 batting average and 24.5 strikeout percentage across 666 plate appearances. Conversely, his 40 home runs and 98 RBI's were both the most Frazier has turned in for a single season.
