Impact Bauers isn't starting Thursday, but it's possible he will be available off the bench. It sounds like the 27-year-old should have a chance to return to the lineup sometime over the weekend.

Nursing sore shoulder Bauers is dealing with a sore shoulder after landing hard on a diving attempt in Wednesday's loss to the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
Sitting Thursday Bauers isn't in the Yankees' lineup Thursday against the Orioles.
Impact Bauers' five-game hitting streak was snapped Wednesday, and he'll sit out Thursday despite right-hander Kyle Bradish starting for the Orioles. While Bauers sits, Isiah Kiner-Falefa will start in left field, and Billy McKinney will get the nod in right.

Sits versus righty Bauers is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles.
Impact The lefty-hitting Bauers had been on the bench for three of the Yankees' previous five games, but each of those absences came against left-handed pitchers. At least for the series opener with Baltimore, Yankees manager Aaron Boone won't be playing matchups, as Bauers and fellow lefty hitter Billy McKinney will take seats against right-hander Tyler Wells. The Yankees will have a pair of righty hitters in Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Giancarlo Stanton replace the two at the corner-outfield spots.

Plates lone run for Yankees Bauers went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a walk in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Cardinals.
Impact Bauers drove in the lone run for the Yankees in a game during which they only had three hits. The 27-year-old has notched a hit in four straight games and but continues to be mostly limited to right-handed pitching only. Bauers is slashing a meager .227/.313/.477 with 18 extra-base hits, 19 RBI, 17 runs and a 17:43 BB:K in 147 plate appearances and should maintain a role as long as Aaron Judge (toe) and Willie Calhoun (quadriceps) are sidelined.

Impact It's the third straight absence for Bauers as the Yankees face a string of left-handers. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will cover left field and bat sixth Friday against the Cardinals and southpaw Matthew Liberatore. Billy McKinney is in right field and hitting seventh.

Sitting versus lefty again Bauers is out of the lineup for Thursday's game against the Athletics.
Impact After sitting out against Athletics southpaw JP Sears in Wednesday's 11-0 win, the lefty-hitting Bauers will remain on the bench for the series finale while Oakland brings lefty Hogan Harris to the hill. With Bauers and fellow lefty hitter Billy McKinney taking seats Thursday, the Yankees will roll with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Giancarlo Stanton as their starters in the corner outfield.

Sits Thursday Bauers isn't starting Thursday against the Mariners.

Goes deep in win Bauers went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run and a walk against Seattle in a 4-2 win Wednesday.
Impact Bauers put the Yankees on the board in the third inning with a two-run shot to right-center field. It was his first homer since June 3, a span of 14 games. Bauers is slashing a mediocre .231/.315/.481 on the campaign but has hit safely in six of his past seven contests, collecting four extra-base hits and five RBI over that span.
JUNE 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE
Notches three hits in twin bill Bauers went 3-for-7 with two doubles, a walk, a stolen base and two runs across both games of Sunday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
Impact The Yankees managed just three total runs in the twin bill, with Bauers scoring two of them from the leadoff spot. The veteran collected a pair of doubles in Game 1 and added a single, a walk and a theft in the nightcap. Bauers has hit atop the order in each of his past five games and has collected at least one hit in each of those contests, going 6-for-20 (.300) with three doubles, three runs and three RBI. All five games have been against a right-hander starter, so it remains to be seen if the left-handed Bauers will bat in a different spot against southpaws.

Goes deep twice Saturday Bauers went 2-for-3 with a pair of two-run home runs in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Dodgers.
Impact Bauers tagged rookie hurler Michael Grove for a pair of two-run shots early to help New York get off to a fast start. Bauers entered the contest with just one homer over his previous 44 at-bats, and he struggled with a 33.3 percent strikeout rate over the stretch. He's started four of the the Yankees' past five games but could start to see his opportunities decrease with Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson both returning from lengthy stays on the injured list this weekend.

Delivers three XBH in win Bauers went 3-for-4 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and two RBI in Monday's 10-4 win over the Mariners.
Impact Bauers had fallen out of favor after going 1-for-22 with a 38.5 percent strikeout rate over his prior 10 games heading into Monday, but he may have gotten himself back in manager Aaron Boone's good graces after turning in a season-best performance in the series opener in Seattle. Though Bauers could get a start at the expense of either Isiah Kiner-Falefa or Willie Calhoun the next time the Yankees face a right-hander, none of the three players may have a path to steady playing time a week from now. Both Josh Donaldson (hamstring) and Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring) could return from the 10-day injured list for this weekend's series with the Dodgers to fill the two holes in New York's regular lineup.
