Notches first steal Gardner went 0-for-4 with a walk and stolen base Tuesday in a victory over the Rays.

Impact The veteran outfielder has struggled to a .186/.274/.237 slash line this season, and the theft Wednesday was his first this season. Given his career-worst 25.7 percent strikeout rate, absence of homers and lone stolen base, Gardner hasn't done much to deserve a roster spot on fantasy squads in 2021.

Yankees CF Hicks to have surgery, out several months

Yankees center fielder Aaron Hicks will have surgery for a torn tendon sheath in his left wrist that could sideline him for the rest of the season

MAY 21, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Set for continued starts in center Gardner will see increased playing time in center field as a result of Aaron Hicks' (wrist) move to the injured list, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Gardner has already been playing regularly, but his opportunities to start should increase even more now that Hicks is possibly facing surgery. "I would look at it as, Gardy is going to be in there a lot," manager Aaron Boone said Sunday in explaining the team's plan for filling Hicks' spot. However, Ryan LaMarre started in center for the Yankees in Sunday's loss to Baltimore. Gardner appeared as a pinch hitter, going 0-for-1 to drop his batting average to .171 on the season.
