Headley went 1-for-5 Saturday with a solo shot, his eighth home run of the season.
The resurgence in his walk rate after his trade from the Padres last season hasn't carried forward into 2015, and Headley's .254/.307/.382 slash line on the season is decidedly mediocre. He'll still have some value hitting in a potent Yankees' lineup, but in shallower fantasy leagues there are probably better options available at third base.

Headley smashed his seventh home run -- and the 100th of his career -- as part of a 2-for-5 night in Tuesday's loss to the Phillies.
Headley is currently riding a six-game hitting streak, having scored once in every game in that span as well. His numbers on the whole are a down from his average production, as he owns a slash line of just .256/.304/.376, but the third baseman has been showing signs of turning it around of late.

Headley is out of the lineup Sunday agains the Tigers.
Headley hasn't received a day off since May 13, so the timing was likely right for a regular maintenance day, despite logging a multi-hit game in two of the last three contests. Brendan Ryan will take over at the hot corner, while Didi Gregorius bats second in the order.

Headley went 2-for-4 with an RBI and two runs scored in Saturday's win over the Tigers.
Headley continues to hit out of the two-hole with Jacoby Ellsbury on the disabled list and Brett Gardner bumped up to the leadoff spot. Though his overall line isn't great -- .254/.305/.367 -- Headley has collected six hits in the last four games and figures to remain in the lineup on a near-everyday basis.

Headley (groin) is in the lineup hitting second Saturday against the Orioles, MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports.
He left Friday's game in the fifth inning after a bad hop on a grounder caught him in the groin area. However, it seems like a minor issue and he should be considered healthy moving forward.

Headley was 1-for-3 before being lifted in the fifth inning of Friday's game against Baltimore.
Headley took a bad-hop groundball to the groin area in the third inning. He remained in the game at the time, but was replaced in the fifth inning by Brendan Ryan. There was no indication that he suffered an injury that could cost him some time, but daily league players may want to check his status for Saturday's game.

Headley went 3-for-4 with a homer run and three RBI in Monday's 14-1 win over Kansas City.
The homer, Headley's sixth of the season, was one of three the Yankees hit off Royals starter Jeremy Guthrie in the first inning. Headley was batting out of the two-hole for the second straight day, and he may continue to see regular time there while Jacoby Ellsbury (knee) is sidelined.

The power is nice, but Headley continues to struggle when it comes to making contact, and he's followed up a .232/.284/.390 April with a .222/.271/.370 slash line in 54 May at-bats.
