Holliday is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holliday is just 1-for-9 with four strikeouts over his previous two starts, so he'll get the day off as Chase Headley serves as the designated hitter in his place. He should continue to get occasional days off down the stretch as the Yankees look to get Headley some starts.

Holliday is not in the lineup for the second game in a row.
EDGE Analysis
Holliday has posted a healthy .844 OPS in September, but the Yankees are using four players -- Holliday, Chase Headley, Greg Bird, and Todd Frazier -- for three spots right now, and Holliday will be the odd man out Tuesday for the second straight day.

Holliday is not in the lineup Monday against the Twins, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
For the third time over the last seven games, Holliday is being omitted from the Yankees' lineup. However, despite frequent absences from the lineup, he's still managed to turn in a decent .270/.357/.486 line to go with two home runs and nine RBI over 11 games since the start of September. Chase Headley will occupy the DH spot Monday night.

EDGE Analysis
Holliday will occupy a spot on the bench while Chase Headley takes over the designated hitting duties Saturday. Since coming off the DL (back) earlier this month, Holliday is slashing .265/.342/.471 in his last 10 appearances.

Holliday is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holliday recently returned from a lengthy stay on the shelf with a back issue, so he'll get the series opener off as the Yankees ease him back into action. He's hit a pair of homers in his first two games back, so he should return to the starting lineup Tuesday. Chase Headley will pick up DH duties in Holliday's absence.

Holliday went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run during Saturday's win over Boston.
EDGE Analysis
Holliday had been out since Aug. 4 with a back injury, so it's encouraging to see the veteran leave the yard in his return to action. With a .230/.318/.437 slash line, expectations should be kept in check, but there are plenty of deep settings where Holliday can still move the fantasy needle, especially if homers and RBI are categories of need.

Holliday is starting at DH and hitting seventh Saturday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
This marks Holliday's first action since Aug. 4, when he injured his back. He had routinely been hitting third or fourth for most of the season, but was dropped to the six hole shortly before his injury. The 37-year-old DH is hitting .229/.319/.430 with 16 home runs and a career-worst 26.3 percent strikeout rate in 361 plate appearances. He should be the Yankees' primary DH over the final month.
