Not starting Monday Voit is out of the lineup Monday against the Angels.
Impact Voit started the past three games and will take a seat after going 2-for-11 with a solo homer and six strikeouts in that stretch. Giancarlo Stanton will serve as the designated hitter while Brett Gardner joins the outfield mix Monday.

Starts again, may get more DH work Voit will start at first base and bat fifth Sunday against the Athletics.
Impact Voit's rest-of-season outlook appeared to take a significant hit when the Yankees acquired another established everyday first baseman in Anthony Rizzo on July 29, but the former will close out the weekend with three consecutive starts. Though he'll displace the slumping Rizzo at first base Sunday, the designated-hitter spot looks like it'll be Voit's ticket to holding down a semi-regular role in the lineup. Though Giancarlo Stanton has occupied the DH spot for the majority of the season, manager Aaron Boone has increased Stanton's exposure to the outfield of late in an effort for the Yankees to trot out all of their top hitters. Stanton started in right field both of the past two games, allowing Voit to get a pair of turns at DH.

Goes deep in return to lineup Voit went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 8-2 victory over Oakland.
Impact Voit mashed a 437-foot solo shot to center field in the fourth inning off Sean Manaea. Prior to Friday, the slugger hadn't started since Aug. 21 -- largely due to the Yankees playing in an NL park -- though he did appear off the bench three times in that span. Voit has gone deep five times in 55 at-bats since returning from the injured list Aug. 8 and is batting .309 with 18 RBI over that stretch.

Out of Thursday's lineup Voit is not starting in Thursday's lineup against the Athletics.
Impact Voit was out of the lineup early in the week as the team was in Atlanta and did not have the benefit of a designated hitter. While his absence now extends an additional game, manager Aaron Boone said that Voit is likely to be in the lineup throughout the rest of the team's weekend series.

No spot in NL park Voit will sit for Monday's game in Atlanta.
Impact Voit has been on an incredible tear over his last seven games, hitting .500 with three homers and 13 RBI. The Yankees had been finding room for both him and Anthony Rizzo in the lineup recently, with Voit moving to designated hitter in two of the team's last three games, pushing Giancarlo Stanton to the outfield, but that won't be an option under National League rules. The Yankees are set to face righties (Huascar Ynoa and Charlie Morton) in both games of the two-game series, so it could be the left-handed Rizzo in the lineup on both occasions.

Monster effort at plate Voit went 4-for-5 with a home run, a double, four RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 10-2 win over Minnesota.
Impact The 30-year-old got the start at first base with Anthony Rizzo resting, and Voit made a substantial case to earn more playing time. He knocked in a pair with a single in the first inning, then added another RBI on a ground rule double in the fourth and capped off the impressive game with a solo shot in the seventh. Voit has swatted seven homers with 26 RBI, 21 runs scored and five doubles through 172 plate appearances, but he's likely to play second fiddle to Rizzo down the stretch.

Rizzo returns to Yankees' lineup, Chapman back in bullpen
Anthony Rizzo is back in the Yankees’ lineup after a bout with COVID-19, and closer Aroldis Chapman also was activated before New York’s series finale against the Boston Red SoxAUGUST 18, 2021 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Retreats to bench Voit isn't in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Impact Voit has been hot at the plate recently, as he went 6-for-13 with two home runs, five RBI and four runs across the last four games. Although he had an everyday role recently, he'll see fewer at-bats after Anthony Rizzo (illness) was reinstated from the COVID-19 injured list Wednesday.

Clubs sixth homer Voit went 1-for-3 with a solo home run during a 2-0 win over the Red Sox in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader.
Impact After going 1-for-2 with a walk and two RBI in the matinee, Voit took Nathan Eovaldi deep in the second inning of the nightcap, giving Luis Gil and the Yankees' bullpen all the run support they would need. The first baseman has homered twice as part of a modest four-game hitting streak, and now that he's healthy Voit could be gearing up for a big finish to the campaign. He could use it -- he's slashing a disappointing .241/.325/.400 through 39 contests this season with only six homers and 20 RBI. Figuring out playing time for everyone could also be an issue once Anthony Rizzo returns from the COVID list.
