Vernon Wells went 0-for-4 on Friday and was caught stealing after reaching on an error. After hitting .221/.250/.365 in 104 at-bats during May, Wells has gone 1-for-22 to open June. He'll probably lose more playing time to Lyle Overbay against right-handers at this rate.

Vernon Wells is not in Monday's lineup against the Indians. Wells has just three hits in his last 36 at-bats, so he'll take a seat against right-hander Justin Masterson. Ichiro Suzuki is starting in left field Monday while Lyle Overbay will make his first career start in right.

Vernon Wells is not in Wednesday's lineup against the Mets. With Wells struggling, Yankees manager Joe Girardi is going with Brennan Boesch in left field and Ichiro Suzuki in left. Wells has just three hits in his last 26 at-bats.

Vernon Wells hit his 10th home run of the season in the Yankees loss to the Mariners on Wednesday. It was one of the few bright spots for the Yankees on the night. Wells' resurgent season continues, as he's now hitting .301 to go with his 23 RBI. He's a solid option in mixed leagues for the foreseeable future.

Vernon Wells hit a two-run homer off the Royals' James Shields on Saturday, powering the Yankees to a 3-2 win. The fifth-inning blast was the only hit in four at-bats for Wells, but it proved to be the difference in the game. The shockingly productive season continues for the veteran outfielder, who is now hitting .281/.331/.500 with eight long balls and 18 RBI. As long as he continues to mash, he needs to be owned and started in most fantasy formats.

Vernon Wells went 3-for-5 with a solo homer and two runs scored in a 5-3 win over the Blue Jays in 11 innings on Saturday. Wells singled in the top of the 11th and scored the go-ahead run after Aaron Loup made a wild throw on a bunt by Ichiro Suzuki. The veteran outfielder has homered in consecutive days and now has five longballs through 15 games. He had just 11 homers in 77 games with the Angels last season.

Vernon Wells went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and two runs scored in Friday's win over the Blue Jays. Wells had an RBI ground out in the first inning and a solo homer in the seventh. While the acquisition was largely mocked, the veteran outfielder is now hitting .283/.377/.585 with four home runs, four doubles, seven RBI and a .962 OPS through 14 games. He could be worth a shot in deeper mixed fantasy leagues until Curtis Granderson (forearm) returns.

Vernon Wells went 3-for-4 and clubbed his first homer as a Yankee in Wednesday's loss to the Red Sox. The three-run shot, which came in the eighth inning off Alfredo Aceves, was preceded by a single and a double. Wells walked and scored a run in his first game in pinstripes, so he's been one of the few players on the team that's done a little something early on. Travis Hafner also hit his first homer as a Yankee Wednesday.

Yankees acquired OF Vernon Wells and cash considerations from the Angels for OF Exicardo Cayones and LHP Kramer Sneed. The deal is official. As part of the agreement, the Yankees will reportedly cover around $14 million of the $42 million left on Wells' contract. The 34-year-old is set to make his Yankees' debut on Tuesday night and will serve as the team's primary left fielder in the early part of the season. He'll be worth a look in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues, but we're not expecting a renaissance in the Bronx.

Vernon Wells is expected to take his physical for the Yankees on Tuesday in Tampa, Florida. The trade won't be official until the physical is completed. The Yankees are going to pay $13 million of the $42 million left on Wells' contract, which makes it a relatively decent deal for Anaheim. Wells is expected to start against all left-handers and some righties in New York.
