Gregorius is not starting Game 2 of Monday's doubleheader against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run -- his ninth of the season -- and a sacrifice fly in Game 1. According to freelance writer Brian Heyman, the shortstop is still nursing some pain from the finger injury he suffered at the beginning of August, which could help explain why he's sitting for the second time in three games. Gleyber Torres is covering shortstop in his stead in Game 2, with Brevic Valera starting at the keystone.

Gregorius is not in Sunday's lineup against the Blue Jays, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gleyber Torres (core) returned to action at shortstop, with Gio Urshela and DJ LeMahieu at third base and second base, respectively. The Yankees have glut of quality infielders, but they all should be able to play most days, with LeMahieu capable of handling first base and the designated hitter spot available.

Gregorius went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a 9-4 victory against the Orioles on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
His long ball was one of six the Yankees hit Tuesday night, all of which were solo shots. The 1-for-5 night has been a typical stat line for Gregorius since he went 8-for-10 across a two-game span July 23 and 24, but maybe the homer will get him going again. Gregorius is batting .266 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 25 runs and one steal in 169 at-bats this season.

Gregorius (hand) will start at shortstop and bat third Sunday against the Red Sox, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
After the Yankees lost two more everyday players in Aaron Hicks (elbow) and Edwin Encarnacion (wrist) to the injured list this weekend, Gregorius' ability to recover from the left hand issue amounts to a rare dose of good news on the injury front for the club. Gregorius missed three games in total due to the injury, but should be ready to handle shortstop duties on a full-time basis heading into the upcoming week.

Gregorius (finger) remains out of the starting lineup in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Gleyber Torres will slide over to shortstop and Breyvic Valera will start at second base and hit ninth. Gregorius took grounders after the opener and is available off the bench. The 29-year-old slashed .256/.293/.477 with four home runs, 22 RBI and 12 runs scored in 22 July games.

Gregorius (finger) may be available off the bench Saturday and should avoid a stint on the injured list, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He is sitting in favor of Breyvic Valera for Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader due to a strained finger, but it's possible we will see him appear off the bench. At the very least, it sounds like Gregorius is just day-to-day.

Gregorius is considered day-to-day with a finger strain, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Manager Aaron Boone said, "We're hoping to avoid an [injured list] situation," so it appears Gregorius could land on the shelf if he doesn't show progress in the next couple days. Gleyber Torres should take over at shortstop while Gregorius remains sidelined.

Gregorius is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius is 1-for-14 with a home run in his last four contests, so he'll take a seat for Friday's series opener. Gleyber Torres will slide over to shortstop while DJ LeMahieu covers the keystone.

Gregorius went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer and a walk in a win over Boston on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
After going 2-for-12 over the first three games of the series, Gregorius drilled a pitch over the right field fence in the fourth inning to plate two runs and give the Yankees a 4-0 advantage. The 29-year-old missed the first 61 games of the season while recovering from Tommy John surgery but has held his own since his return, slashing .282/.308/.483 with seven home runs and 29 RBI in 156 plate appearances.
