Gregorius went 2-for-5 with a walk, a solo home run and a stolen base in Friday's 7-3 extra-inning loss to the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
His third homer of the season tied things at 3-3 in the eighth inning, sending the game to extra innings, and Gregorius nearly won it in the 11th by scampering home from third base on a wild pitch, only to get called out as Mychal Givens made a spectacular sliding block of home plate as he grabbed Caleb Joseph's relay throw. Gregorius has been the Yankees' best player out of the gate, and overshadowed by his power display has been his improved patience -- he already has six walks through eight games after drawing only 25 free passes all of last year. The 29-year-old is coming off a career-best campaign in 2017, but he may not have reached his ceiling as an offensive player yet.

Gregorius went 4-for-4 with two home runs, a double, eight RBI and three runs during Tuesday's 11-4 win over Tamp Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Hitting behind Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton is a cushy gig on paper, and Gregorius certainly cashed in Tuesday. While the shortstop is still a potential decline candidate following his breakout 2017 campaign, his position in the heart of the New York lineup is almost guaranteed to soften the blow -- if there's one at all. Just note that Gregorius hit sixth against lefty J.A. Happ on Opening Day, so there's potential he bats further down the lineup against southpaws.

Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, a triple and two runs scored in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
He nearly scored a third run but got gunned down at home on a grounder to third baseman Yangervis Solarte after leading off the second inning with a triple. Gregorius put together a career-best .796 OPS in 2017 and has rapped out more than 50 extra-base hits in each of the last two seasons, but at 28 years old we may not have seen his ceiling yet as a hitter.

Gregorius will hit cleanup and play shortstop against the Blue Jays on Friday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius hit out of the sixth spot against left-hander J.A. Happ on Thursday but will move up in the order with right-hander Aaron Sanchez taking the hill. On Opening Day, he went 0-for-3 with a walk during the Yankees' victory.

Gregorius agreed to a one-year, $8.25 million deal with the Yankees on Friday, Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
This was the third offseason of arbitration eligibility for Gregorius, who will receive a raise of $3.15 million from last year. In 2017, the shortstop continued his upward climb, slashing .287/.318/.478 with 25 home runs and 87 RBI in 136 games, after missing the first month of the season due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the World Baseball Classic in March. He may see his numbers regress to resemble his 2016 campaign, but should still be a highly-valued option at the shortstop position.

Gregorius went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's win over the Twins.
EDGE Analysis
With four home runs in his last six games, Gregorius is now up to 25 on the year, which is the most ever for a Yankees shortstop, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. Of course, there has been a league-wide power spike, but Gregorius is also hitting at a high clip and he ranks second among all shortstops with 84 RBI. His four-category production has put him among the top five at the position in terms of earned fantasy value.

Gregorius went 3-for-4 with a three-run homer and three runs Saturday against the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius launched his 23rd homer of the season to put the Yankees on the board in the third inning of a home victory. He's now homered in consecutive contests, and although his overall numbers this month haven't been strong, he could be heating up in time to help fantasy owners down the stretch.
