Beltran went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run, his 15th of the season, in Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Angels.
EDGE Analysis
Sticking with his season's pattern, Beltran displayed power and struck out twice Tuesday. The 39-year-old's .277 ISO is better than it has been since 2006 when he was 29 and in his second MLB season. On the flip side, Beltran's 21 percent strikeout rate is far and away the worst of his career. Dealing with high K-rates is part of owning power hitters, and as long as your league doesn't penalize batters for whiffs, then Beltran should be considered a top option across most formats.

Beltran went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run in the Yankee's victory over the Angels on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran has started June on a high note, going 7-for-21 with a pair of home runs and five RBI in six games this month. The 39-year-old has been among the best home run hitters in the American League this season on the strength of his eight-homer May. For the season Beltran is hitting .272 with 14 home runs and 36 RBI.

Beltran is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, ESPN.com's Wallace Matthews reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's likely little more than rest for the veteran, who returned from a shoulder injury last week and has started the previous six games, going 7-for-22 with a homer and two RBI. Aaron Hicks will spell Beltran in right field Sunday.

Beltran (shoulder) is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Blue Jays, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran sat out Sunday's game due to a sore shoulder, but the setback will not cost him any additional action at this time. Beltran will serve as the Yankees' designated hitter and hit third against Blue Jays starter Marco Estrada.

Beltran (shoulder) indicated he was available to play in Sunday's game against the Rays, the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran was removed from Saturday's contest after experiencing some tightness in his upper back and was held out of Sunday's lineup, but it sounds as though it's a relatively minor situation. The 39-year-old has found his stroke at the plate of late, swatting three homers in his last five games when healthy.

Beltran (shoulder) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rays, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 39-year-old was pulled out of Saturday's game after experiencing shoulder soreness, but managed to deliver his 12th homer of the season before departing. Aaron Hicks will replace Beltran in Sunday's lineup.

Beltran was removed from Saturday's game with shoulder soreness, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran was able to take three at-bats in Saturday's contest, but he did not finish the game, and is questionable at best for Sunday's game. If Beltran is unable to go Sunday, Aaron Hicks is the favorite to get the start in his place.

Beltran went 1-for-3 with a home run, two RBI and two runs in Tuesday's 6-0 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran plated the game's first two runs, including a solo blast off the Jays' R.A. Dickey to give him his 10th homer of the season. We're just over a quarter of the way through the current campaign, but Beltran already has more than half of last season's home run total (19). The 39-year-old has had more opportunities of late to rest his legs while serving as the Yankees' primary DH, but he'll move back to a regular role in the outfield once Alex Rodriguez (hamstring) returns from the DL, which could happen over the weekend.

Beltran went 2-for4 with an RBI and run scored in Saturday's 5-1 victory over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The 39-year-old continued to punish Oakland pitching, tallying his third straight multi-hit effort in the series, and extending his hitting streak to four games overall. He's posted four doubles, a homer, seven RBI and two runs scored in 13 at-bats over the last three games, and has now raised his average 33 points to .286 in May.

Beltran went 3-for-5 with three doubles and three RBI Friday at the Athletics.
EDGE Analysis
Beltran had successive RBI doubles in the fourth and sixth innings to blow the game open in a Yankees win. He's now hit safely in five of his last six games to bring his slash line to .262/.289/.517.
