Manager Joe Girardi wasn't optimistic Sunday that Holliday (illness) would be activated from the 10-day disabled list during the Yankees' upcoming six-game homestand to close out the first half, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees have yet to issue an official update on Holliday's condition since he landed on the DL last week with a viral infection. With the All-Star break looming, the team won't rush Holliday back into action and will instead likely let him take the next week and a half to rest up before reassessing his health before second-half play begins. Holliday's absence should continue to open up everyday at-bats for newly recalled prospect Clint Frazier.

Holliday (illness) was moved to the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
With Holliday making limited progress from the viral infection he first came down with Sunday, he'll head back to New York to undergo additional testing while the Yankees finish out the road trip without him. Third baseman Miguel Andujar was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move, but he's not a safe bet to assume Holliday's role as the club's everyday designated hitter. Instead, look for manager Joe Girardi to cycle in a number of different bench bats at DH for the duration of Holliday's absence.

Holliday (illness) could be sent back to New York for further evaluation if he's not able to return to the lineup Wednesday, George A. King of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Holliday already went through some testing after missing his third straight game with an allergic reaction, and though everything came back fine, the 37-year-old reported that he still didn't feel ready to return to game action. It sounds as though it's still a day-to-day situation, but if Holliday continues to not feel any better the door could open for a brief DL stint.

Holliday (illness) is not in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
It will be the third straight game Holliday doesn't start after the 37-year-old was held out of Sunday's contest due to an allergic reaction. Continue to consider him day-to-day until the team updates his overall status.

Holliday (illness) is not in the Yankees' lineup Monday against the White Sox as he recovers from Sunday's allergic reaction, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
This marks the third time in the past week that Holliday is held out due to allergies in what has suddenly become a rather serious situation for the team. The 37-year-old will continue to rest in hopes of returning to the lineup as soon as possible, while Gary Sanchez fills in at DH and Andrew Romine takes over behind the backstop.

Holliday was held out of Sunday's game as he dealt with an allergic reaction, Daniel Popper of the New York Daily News reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the second time in just over a week Holliday has been forced to miss a game due to an allergic reaction, but last time he was able to return to the lineup after missing just one game. Manager Joe Girardi indicated the 37-year-old DH could undergo some tests to get to the bottom of the issue, but he also didn't rule out the possibility that Holliday would be ready to return to the lineup in time for Monday's tilt against the White Sox.

Holliday is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Holliday has made six starts in a row, five as the DH, but will be held out for Sunday's series finale. Aaron Judge will instead serve as the DH, while Tyler Austin gets the nod at first.

Holliday (illness) will serve as the Yankees' designated hitter and bat fourth Sunday against the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
After experiencing allergies leading up to Saturday's contest, Holliday was scratched from the lineup and given the afternoon off. He's apparently feeling better after having a day off to rest, so he'll rejoin the lineup in his normal spot. Holliday looks like a safe lineup choice heading into the upcoming week for those fantasy owners who have been relying on him this season.

Holliday was scratched from Saturday's game against the Athletics due to an allergic reaction, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Starlin Castro will replace Holliday as the designated hitter, batting cleanup. He should be considered day-to-day until the Yankees update his condition further, while it's possible he'll be held out of Sunday's series finale as precaution with an off-day approaching Monday.

Holliday is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Joe Girardi will move Gary Sanchez to the DH spot and give Chris Carter the start at first base as he gives Holliday the night off. Holliday has been a productive fixture in the Yankees' lineup throughout the season and has continued his strong performance into June, where he's slashed .326/.448/.543 with 12 RBI in 46 at-bats. He'll likely rejoin the lineup Friday in Oakland.
