HOUSTON — With Clint Frazier moved to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, could the outfielder muscle his way into the Yankees’ mix?

“It will be a tough call. He is a talented player who has had success at the highest level of the minor leagues and a taste of success at the big leagues so we know the talent,’’ Aaron Boone said of Frazier, who suffered a concussion early in the spring training schedule. “It will be something we evaluate, but we know we have somebody who can impact our club.’’

The Yankees designated right-hander David Hale for assignment on April 23 after one game and he was picked up by the Twins. He worked one game for them and the Yankees claimed Hale off waivers from the Twins on Tuesday.

Tyler Austin, who returned from a four-game suspension, was in the lineup at first base and hitting eighth and went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts in the Yankees’ 4-0 win.

“I prepared like I did all year and hopefully tonight it keeps rolling,’’ said Austin, who hit .321 (9-for-28) with three homers, 10 RBIs and a 1.152 OPS in the seven games before being banned.
