Impact Higashioka will now step away from the team until he clears the league's testing protocols. Rob Brantly will join the big-league roster in a corresponding move and could start Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader since Jose Trevino is behind the plate for the matinee.

Not in Friday's lineup Higashioka will sit Friday against the White Sox, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports.
Impact Higashioka started five of the first six games of the season behind the dish for the Yankees, but he and Jose Trevino have split time exactly evenly since then, each starting 13 times. Trevino will be the starting backstop Friday, catching for Gerrit Cole.

Idle Wednesday Higashioka is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact Higashioka will hit the bench for the day game after a night game, allowing Jose Trevino to pick up a turn behind the dish. In Tuesday's 6-5 loss, Higashioka started at catcher and went 0-for-2, dropping his season average to .140.

Sitting Monday Higashioka isn't starting Monday versus the Rangers.
Impact Higashioka will be out of the lineup for the second straight game after sitting Game 2 of Sunday's doubleheader against the Rangers. The 32-year-old has struggled to a .146 batting average this season with just three extra-base hits over 48 at-bats. Jose Trevino will get the start behind the plate and bat ninth Monday.

Resting for Game 2 Higashioka is out of the lineup for the second game of Sunday's doubleheader with the Rangers.

On bench again Tuesday Higashioka is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays.
Impact After picking up three starts in a four-game stretch to close out the weekend, Higashioka now finds himself on the bench for the second day in a row. The Yankees are expected to ride the hotter bat between Higashioka and Jose Trevino at catcher, though neither is doing much to separate himself from the other. Higashioka owns a .386 OPS on the season, while Trevino's mark sits at a similarly feeble .463.

Belts three-run double HIgashioka went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and three RBI in Friday's 12-2 win over Kansas City.
Impact Higashioka's lone hit of the game was a big one, as it cleared the bases and gave New York a 10-run lead. The double was a much-needed knock for the backstop, who had previously registered only one extra-base hit and one RBI all season. Higashioka had a great spring but is slashing just .143/.213/.190 through 48 regular-season plate appearances.

Losing work to Trevino Higashioka is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.
Impact Higashioka is sitting for the fourth time in six games and looks to have fallen behind Jose Trevino on the depth chart at catcher. The 32-year-old could be at risk of a demotion to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre whenever fellow backstop Ben Rortvedt (oblique) is cleared to return from the 10-day injured list.

Remains on bench Higashioka will sit Friday against Cleveland.
Impact Higashioka sits for the second straight game, marking the first time he's been on the bench for back-to-back games this season. His .097/.125/.129 slash line suggests that he could find himself on the bench more often going forward. Jose Trevino remains the starter behind the plate.
