Headley went 0-for-5 across both games of Saturday's doubleheader against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Headley was held out of the lineup Thursday suffering from a stiff back, but did not appear to be slowed down by the ailment Saturday. He figures to be fully available for the Yankees in the final day of the regular season and into the playoffs.

Headley was held out of the lineup Thursday with a stiff back, The Westchester Journal News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It doesn't sound as though the injury is a serious one, though with the Yankees likely benching many of their regulars Friday after clinching a wild card spot, Headley may be held out of the lineup again. The 31-year-old appears as though he'll be good to go at some point over the weekend and in the playoffs.

Headley is out of the lineup Sunday against the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like it's just a maintenance day for Headley, who has been in the lineup for the last 16 games. During that time, Headley has gone just 12-for-63 (.190) at the dish, so he could stand to benefit from the day off. Brendan Ryan will spell him at third base.

Headley fell a triple shy of the cycle in Sunday's 20-6 blowout of the Braves, finishing the day 3-for-3 with four RBI and three runs scored. He also drew walks in his other two plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

After going just 1-for-9 in the Yankees' previous series against the Astros, Headley turned things up a notch over the weekend. He notched six hits and drew two walks during the Bronx Bombers' three-game sweep of Atlanta, while driving in seven runs and scoring six times. Headley has performed mostly as the Yankees expected after signing him to a four-year, $52 million contract extension in the offseason, as he's hitting .277/.339/.404 on the campaign, marks comparable to what he posted upon joining New York prior to last year's trade deadline.

Headley went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, two RBI and two runs in Friday's win over the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Like several of his teammates, Headley has had a great month despite his recent struggles entering Friday's game. Headley has batted .315 over the past month with 16 RBI and 17 runs. He could be worth a pickup as a bench player down the stretch.

Despite being out of the lineup, Headley was reportedly running in the outfield earlier Friday afternoon, indicating that he's making some progress with his injured calf muscle.

Headley underwent an MRI on his right calf Wednesday that showed inflammation and would be surprised if he plays Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
