Fri Sep 18 201518:23Drew not in lineup Friday against Mets
Drew is not in the lineup Friday against the Mets.
Drew has been sitting regularly with a left-handed pitcher on the mound, and that will be the case again Friday as the Yankees are set to oppose southpaw Steven Matz. Brendan Ryan will get the start once again at the keystone in his place and bat eighth.
Wed Sep 16 201515:48Drew not in lineup for Wednesday's game against Rays
Drew is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
The 32-year-old has sat every other day over the past week or so, with Brendan Ryan seeing most of the reps in his absence to this point, but Dustin Ackley will get the nod at second base Wednesday. Drew has collected just two hits in his last 24 at-bats, resulting in a .194/.242/.355 line for the month of September.
Mon Sep 14 201515:40Drew not in lineup Monday against Rays
Drew is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Drew has mostly been in a platoon role with Brendan Ryan, but with a recent slump dropping his average back down to .203, he'll take a seat even against the right-handed Erasmo Ramirez. Ryan will draw the start at the keystone in his place, batting ninth.

Drew is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's doubleheader with the Blue Jays.
Drew didn't exactly make a strong case to start both games of Saturday's twin bill, going 0-for-4 with a strikeout and a walk in the matinee. The 32-year-old is now just 1-for-his-last-20.
Mon Sep 7 201512:22Drew out of lineup Monday against Orioles
Drew is out of the lineup Monday against the Orioles.
Drew is likely getting a day off with the Yankees facing a lefty starter in the O's Wei-Yin Chen. He'll be replaced at the keystone by Jose Pirela on Monday.
Thu Sep 3 201511:08Drew 3-4 with double, home run, and three RBI in Wednesday's 13-...
Drew went 3-for-4 with a double, a home run, and three RBI in Wednesday's 13-8 win over the Red Sox.
Drew's .211 average and .281 on-base percentage ranks among the worst in the majors for players who have received at least 350 at-bats, but fantasy owners may be willing to overlook those issues due to the supreme pop he's showing from a middle infield spot. His 17 homers trail only Hanley Ramirez (19) and Brandon Crawford (19) among all players with shortstop eligibility in most formats.
Mon Aug 31 201509:54Drew reached base six times in Sunday's 20-6 beatdown of Braves,...
Drew reached base six times in Sunday's 20-6 beatdown of the Braves, as he singled three times, walked twice, and hit a three-run homer. He finished the afternoon with four RBI and three runs scored.
The home run was Drew's 16th of the season, marking his best total since hitting a career-high 21 bombs in 2008 with the Diamondbacks. However, that's about the only area that Drew has been an above-average fantasy asset from the middle infield this season; his overall line still sits at a pedestrian .201/.274/.385. That poor production should keep Drew locked into the eighth or ninth spot in the Yankees' lineup on most occasions, though his job security seems strong after second-base prospect Rob Refsnyder floundered in his first taste of the majors earlier this season.
Sun Aug 23 201507:58Drew 2-4 with strikeout in Saturday's win over Indians
Drew went 2-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's win over the Indians.
Drew is riding a modest four-game hitting streak, but he's still failed to get above the Mendoza Line at any point this season, as his average sits at a measly .199. His 15 homers are second most in the league at the keystone, but there's not much else the second baseman has been able to provide offensively this year.
Fri Aug 14 201516:59Drew out of Friday's lineup against Blue Jays
Drew is out of Friday's lineup against the Blue Jays.
Drew collected his 15th home run of the season Thursday against the Indians, but will take a seat with a lefty on the mound Friday in David Price. Brendan Ryan will start in his place, batting ninth for the Yankees.
Fri Aug 14 201500:18Drew 2-3 with home run, two RBI and four runs against Indians on...
Drew went 2-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and four runs against the Indians on Thursday.
Drew connected in the second for a solo shot, added an RBI double in the fourth and wound up scoring a career-high four runs. The 32-year-old second baseman, who homered Tuesday, hit a 1-1 pitch to right for his 15th home run.
Wed Aug 12 201509:57Drew launched 14th homer of season, going 1-6 in Tuesday's loss ...
Drew launched his 14th homer of the season, going 1-for-6 in Tuesday's loss to the Indians.
Drew continues to offer decent power for a second baseman, but has struggled to do much when the ball stays in the yard. Manager Joe Girardi has been benching Drew in favor of Brendan Ryan against most southpaws, but the lefty owns just a .177/.248/.372 line against right-handed pitching this year.
Tue Aug 4 201515:33Drew not in lineup for Tuesday's game against Red Sox
Drew is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
Drew was held out in favor of Brendan Ryan the last four times the Yankees faced a left-hander, and that will be the case again Tuesday with New York facing Boston lefty Henry Owens. Drew owns just a .658 OPS on the season, but he has been far better since the All-Star break, posting a .865 OPS in 13 games.
Mon Aug 3 201507:55Drew 3-5 with four RBI in Sunday's win over White Sox
Drew went 3-for-5 with four RBI in Sunday's win over the White Sox.
Drew ended up coming a home run shy of the cycle, as he notched his first triple of the season to drive in a pair of runs. The second baseman closed out a strong road trip sporting a season-high .199 average. Still, between the overall lack of production and the apparent platoon in place, Drew likely won't have much fantasy impact going forward.
Sat Aug 1 201516:13Drew not in lineup for Saturday's game against White Sox
Drew is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the White Sox, Doug Padilla of ESPN reports.
Drew is in line to sit for his second consecutive day as the Yankees face lefty John Danks. Fellow second fielder Brendan Ryan will get another start after picking up three hits in six at-bats during his outing Friday.
Fri Jul 31 201517:08Drew not in lineup for Friday's game against White Sox
Drew is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
Drew will get the night off Friday with the Yankees employing a righty-heavy lineup against White Sox starter Carlos Rodon. Brendan Ryan will get the start at second base in Drew's place.
Mon Jul 27 201517:00Drew out of lineup Monday against Rangers
Drew is out of the lineup Monday against the Rangers, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
With left-handed Matt Harrison on the hill for the Rangers, Drew gets the night off, despite stringing together four straight games with a hit and a two-run home run Sunday. His batting average still sits at .188, but does have 13 home runs on the season. Brendan Ryan gets the start in favor of Drew at second base.
Mon Jul 27 201511:56Drew 1-3 with two-run home run and walk in Sunday's game against...
Drew went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in Sunday's game against the Twins.
The 32-year-old appeared to be losing playing time to rookie Rob Refsnyder around the All-Star break, but has now started six of the last seven games and is hitting .333 during his modest four-game hitting streak. Drew will likely sit against left-handers moving forward, but should still see the majority of the starts at second base.
Sat Jul 25 201511:11Drew 2-4 in Friday's loss to Twins
Drew went 2-for-4 in Friday's loss to the Twins.
Drew briefly appeared to have lost his grip on the starting job when the Yankees called up Rob Refsnyder just before the All-Star break, but it once again appears that the 32-year-old will see the majority of the starts at the keystone. Despite that, Drew is still hitting just .185 on the year, so his return to the top of the depth chart shouldn't effect most fantasy owners.
Thu Jul 9 201507:54Drew launched 12th home run of season in only at bat in Wednesda...
Drew launched his 12th home run of the season in his only at bat in Wednesday's win over the A's.
The home run put the Yankees ahead 5-2 at the time, but ended up being the difference after the A's fought back to pull it within one in the ninth inning. Drew's 12 homers are behind only Brian Dozier among second basemen, but he continues to struggle to hit for average, as he's hitting just .179 on the year and .154 in July.
Mon Jun 29 201518:52Drew out of lineup Monday against Angels
Drew is out of the lineup Monday against the Angels, Newsday's Erik Boland reports.
Drew will be rested with lefty C.J. Wilson taking the hill for the Angels. Jose Pirela is set to assume second base while Drew hits the bench.
