Gardner went 2-for-4 with three RBI and two walks in Monday's win at Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
Gardner was a dynamic presence at the top of the order for the Yankees, and he made his presence felt late in the game with two pivotal RBI knocks. He delivered an RBI single to right field in the top of the 10th, and he later added a two-run single that would prove to be decisive for the outcome of the game. As if that wasn't enough, he reached base four times and that tied his season-high mark.

Gardner is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Marlins, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees want to get all three of their biggest sluggers (Giancarlo Stanton, Aaron Judge and now Joey Gallo) into the lineup, and there's no spot for any of them to serve as the designated hitter with the game being played in a National League park. Aaron Judge will start in center, leaving Gardner to serve as nothing more than a pinch hitter or defensive replacement.

Gardner is not in the starting lineup Tuesday against the Rays and left-hander Shane McClanahan, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gardner will get a breather after appearing in every game since the club returned from the All-Star break July 16. The veteran outfielder could be in line for less starts against southpaws with Aaron Judge (illness) back from the COVID-19 IL.

Gardner went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Phillies on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran outfielder socked a solo shot to right field in the fifth inning to break a 2-2 tie. The homer was his first in a difficult July during which he is batting a paltry .135 (5-for-37). The down month has dropped Gardner's season average to .191.

Gardner is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Even with five other outfielders (Aaron Judge, Miguel Andujar, Clint Frazier, Tim Locastro and Aaron Hicks) on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Gardner will take a seat for the series finale while a southpaw (Martin Perez) starts for Boston. The newly recalled Ryan LaMarre will spell Gardner in the outfield.
