Frazier, 33, has played in 78 games this season split between second base, left field and right field, hitting .255 with 21 RBIs. He spent last season with KC after bouncing around the majors following his start with the Pirates.

In desperate need of help at second base as they try to fight their way back into the American League wild-card race, the Kansas City Royals are acquiring veteran infielder Adam Frazier.
