Headley is out of the lineup for Tuesday's matchup against Seattle, Bob Dutton of the Tacoma News Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Headley had been dealing with a lingering Achilles issue, so it's likely that the Yankees are being careful with their third baseman to avoid further aggravating the injury. Ronald Torreyes will start at the hot corner and hit ninth in Headley's absence.

Headley was held out of Friday's lineup with lingering tendinitis in his left Achilles, Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
The third baseman indicated the issue has been bothering him for a little bit, but he also said he was available in Friday's contest and that he felt good enough to play. It sounds as though it's just a minor issue at this point, but it's possible Headley is held out again Saturday or Sunday as a precaution.

Headley is out of Friday's lineup against the Angels, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Headley will get the night off after a Thursday outing that saw him go 2-for-4 with a home run. Ronald Torreyes will start at the hot corner, giving Headley his second day off over the last five days. The 32-year-old will likely return to the lineup for Saturday's contest against the Angels.

Headley is out of the lineup Sunday against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Headley had started the previous six games at third base, going 5-for-19 with two RBI and three runs. While first baseman Mark Teixeira and outfielder Aaron Hicks seem most at risk of losing out on regular starting gigs following the Saturday promotions of well-regarded prospects Tyler Austin and Aaron Judge, Headley too could see a reduction in at-bats over the final month and a half of the season. Austin has the ability to play both corner infield spots and could press Headley for action at third base on days when Teixeira is in the lineup. With both Teixeira and Headley out Sunday, however, Ronald Torreyes will get the nod at the hot corner.

Headley went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a walk, an RBI and a run Tuesday in a 5-3 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The doubles were Headley's 12th and 13th of the year, and the nice day raised his batting average to .254. It also breaks him out of a 3-for-21 mini-slump over the previous seven games, and brings his RBI total to 37 on the year.

Headley went 1-for-3 with a pair of RBI in Wednesday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The Yankees fell into an early 2-0 hole, but Headley -- getting an unusual opportunity in the cleanup spot -- tied it up with his first inning, two-run double. The third baseman put together a solid July, as he hit .286 with five homers in the month, so he'll look to keep that momentum going in August.
