With Dustin Fowler going on the disabled list following his major league debut Thursday, the team also recalled infielder Miguel Andujar.

Frazier was the Indians’ first-round pick in 2014, No. 5 overall. The Indians gave him a $3.5-million signing bonus. The Yankees acquired him from Cleveland at the trade deadline last year as part of a package minor leaguers. In return, the Indians got closer Andrew Miller. The Yankees wound up watching Miller help carry the Indians to the World Series.

Frazier is currently hitting .257 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI through 73 games in Triple-A.
