Sits out Wednesday Odor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Orioles.

Impact Odor will cede his spot in the lineup to Mike Ford, who gets the start at first base while DJ LeMahieu shifts back over to the keystone. Over the past week, Odor seems to have won the battle with Ford for the final available spot in the Yankees' everyday infield. Odor had started in each of the Yankees' last six games, while Ford was in the lineup only twice during that time.

Homers in second straight Odor went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 2-1 win over Cleveland.

Impact All the Yankees' offense came on a pair of fifth-inning solo shots off Shane Bieber, with Odor's blast proving to be the game-winner, but it was just enough offense for Gerrit Cole and the bullpen. Odor has flashed his power in New York with three homers and eight RBI in 11 games, and while his .189/.250/.432 slash line seems like a reflection of the same contact woes that caused the Rangers to give up on him, his 2:5 BB:K over that stretch offers some hope he's beginning to figure things out.

Hits game-tying homer Odor went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 5-3 win over Cleveland.

Impact Odor went yard off Cleveland starter Logan Allen in the second inning, tying the game at 3-3. The long ball was Odor's second homer in 10 games as a Yankee. He's added seven RBI and four runs scored. The second baseman is yet to attempt a stolen base. He's slashing just .176/.222/.353 in 36 plate appearances, and he usually hits in the bottom third of the order.

Comes up with big hit Thursday Odor went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI in Thursday's win over Cleveland.

Impact Odor's tenure as a Yankee hasn't included many productive moments, but the veteran infielder came through in the clutch with a two-out, two-run single in the top of the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie. Odor has only five hits in 30 at-bats since joining New York, but he has knocked in five runs and struck out only three times.

Sits against righty again Odor is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Now on the bench against a right-handed starting pitcher (Ian Anderson) for the second day in a row, Odor appears to have lost out on an everyday role. He started in each of his first seven games with the Yankees, going 3-for-24 with a home run and one walk. DJ LeMahieu will move pack to his more natural position at second base, while the recently-recalled Mike Ford picks up a second straight start at first base.

Clubs first homer as Yankee Odor went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's loss to Tampa Bay.

Impact Odor went deep to right field in the seventh inning for his first long ball since joining New York on April 6. The veteran is slashing just .143/.182/.286 in six games this season, but he appears to have taken over the Yankees' everyday second base role for the time being.

Starting once again Saturday Odor is starting Saturday's game against the Rays.

Impact Odor will be in the starting lineup at second base for a sixth straight contest while DJ LeMahieu starts at first base. While Odor has hit just .118 in his first five appearances with the Yankees, manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Odor will continue to start at the keystone with DJ LeMahieu at first base while Luke Voit (knee) remains sidelined, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Jay Bruce will serve in a depth role now that Odor has a regular spot in the starting nine.

Getting fourth straight start Odor will start at second base and bat eighth Wednesday against the Blue Jays, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.

Impact The Yankees have wasted little time working Odor into the mix since acquiring him from the Rangers on April 6. He'll be picking up his fourth straight start at the keystone Wednesday after going 2-for-12 with a pair of RBI through his first three games with the club. New York could end up moving DJ LeMahieu over to first base on a more regular basis if Odor performs well enough at the plate to earn an everyday role.
