Derek Jeter went 2-for-5 with a homer and two runs scored in Wednesday's 9-2 victory over the Angels. Perhaps Jeter needed warm California air to wake him up after an extended layoff. The veteran entered this series batting .240 with zero power and in an 0-14 streak, and then he went 5-for-10 with a walk, double and his first homer of the year as the Bombers took two of three. It was good to see, but his fantasy prognosis doesn't change much. He's simply no longer an asset. Jeter is slashing .262/.336/.327 over 27 games.

Derek Jeter went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored Monday in a 4-1 loss to the Angels. During a frustrating night in which Joe Girardi and Shawn Kelley were both ejected for jawing with home plate umpire Laz Diaz over balls and strikes, Jeter was just about the only Yankee who enjoyed himself. In so doing, the legendary shortstop yanked himself out of a 4-for-30 slump that featured no extra-base hits and only one walk. Jeter's farewell tour hasn't been pleasant thus far, and he's slashing .250/.318/.290.

Derek Jeter is not in the Yankees starting lineup for Saturday's contest against the Rays. It's no surprise that the veteran shortstop is sitting a day game after a night game, especially after taking an 0-for-7 in Friday's extra-inning loss. Yangervis Solarte will draw the start at shortstop in his place.

Derek Jeter went 0-for-7 for the first time in his illustrious career in Friday's 14-inning loss to the Rays. Jeter had gone 0-for-6 four times, most recently on May 11, 2011. The seventh at-bat was particularly disappointing for him tonight; after the Rays intentionally walked Jacoby Ellsbury to load the bases in the 13th tonight, Jeter hit a grounder right back to Heath Bell to end the inning.

Derek Jeter lost his 11-game hitting streak with an 0-for-4 against the Red Sox on Wednesday. Jeter had raised his average from .182 to .298 during the stretch. Unfortunately, he's been a zero elsewhere for fantasy purposes; he's yet to homer or steal a base and he has just four runs scored and four RBI despite hitting from the second spot in the Yankees lineup.

Derek Jeter (quad) said that he'll be in the lineup for the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs. Jeter will miss a third straight contest this afternoon with a sore quad, but he'll be ready for the nightcap. Dean Anna is getting another start at shortstop in the afternoon game.

Derek Jeter (quad) is not in the lineup in the first game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cubs. Jeter probably wasn't going to play in both games, so it makes sense to rest him in the afternoon tilt. It will be the third straight contest he's missed with a sore quad, but he should be back in there this evening. Dean Anna is getting another start at shortstop.

Derek Jeter is out of the Yankees lineup for a second consecutive game on Sunday due to a sore quad. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that it's been bothering Jeter since Friday and that he wanted to give him an extra day to rest with Monday's off day looming. No tests are scheduled, and at the moment it sounds as though he'll return to the lineup on Tuesday.

Derek Jeter is out of the Yankees starting lineup for the second consecutive day on Sunday. No word yet on the reason for the absence, but the Yankees should have an update on his status shortly. Dean Anna will once again draw the start at shortstop.
