Gregorius went 2-for-3 against the Twins on Thursday, with his three-run homer in the seventh inning plating the game's deciding runs.
EDGE Analysis
That's three consecutive two-hit games for Gregorius, and he's rocked opposing pitchers for two homers and seven RBI in that time. Of course, two of those games came in Colorado, but nonetheless, Gregorius is on pace for his finest season at the plate. Curiously, however, his defense has dropped off, as he's made eight errors while showing reduced range this season.

Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 4-0 victory over the Tigers.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old posted his fourth multi-hit outing of June, and blasted his third two-bagger of the month in the process. Gregorius' average has been on a steady climb since May 1, as it's seen a 48-point jump over that span. He's now slashing .269/.296/.376 on the season, while providing some occasional power (four homers).

Gregorius is out of the lineup Thursday, the Bergen Record's Pete Caldera reports.
EDGE Analysis
To this point, Gregorius has been a bottom-10 starting shortstop offensively, and his negative 0.2 WAR on Fangraphs is actually second to last among qualified shortstops. Starlin Castro will get his first start of the season at shortstop, and Castro could start seeing more occasional time there as the Yankees look for a spark.

Gregorius went 3-for-4 with a home run Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius extended his hitting streak to eight games, and he's hit safely in 10 of his last 11 contests where he's gone 17-for-42 (.404) over that span. The infielder is not known for his offense, but he's been red hot of late.

Gregorius is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the A's.
EDGE Analysis
With the Yankees facing lefty Sean Manaea on Saturday, Gregorius will be replaced at shortstop by Ronnie Torreyes. Gregorius has actually been extremely effective against southpaws this season, batting .343 with a .807 OPS, but manager Joe Girardi is stacking his lineup with righties against the young Manaea given that Manaea has a .379 batting average against when facing righties.

Gregorius went 3-for-5 with a pair of runs scored in Friday's win over the A's.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop is working on a modest five-game hitting streak, as he's followed up a difficult opening month with a .281 average in May. Gregorius has historically struggled against lefties -- hitting .227 on his career against southpaws -- but he's hitting .343 against them thus far this year.

Gregorius went 3-for-3 with an RBI double in Saturday's 2-1 victory over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old is climbing out of some early-season struggles, and has now raised his average 18 points during May. He's managed multi-hit games in two of his last four contests, and his RBI single in the second off Jose Quintana turned out to be the difference in the ball game. Gregorius' season line is up to .243/.261/.383 over 107 at-bats.

Gregorius is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorious is actually faring better against lefties (.286 BA) than righties (.197 BA) this season; but no matter, he will be held out Friday with left-hander Chris Sale on the mound for the White Sox. Ronnie Torreyes will get the start at shortstop in Gregorius' place.

Gregorius doubled twice and knocked in three runs in a 2-for-4 game Tuesday against the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Gregorius has knocked in three runs twice in the past four games, but he still has a brutal .229/.250/.344 on the season. Even with two doubles in Tuesday's contest, he has just seven extra-base hits in 102 plate appearances this season. Between his lack of power and a 16:2 K:BB on the year, it's hard to find the upside for Gregorius.

Gregorius went 2-for-3 with a double, three RBI and a run scored in Saturday's 8-2 victory over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old shortstop had struggled against David Price in the past, but solved him early Saturday. His two-out, bases-loaded double in the fourth plated Starlin Castro, Mark Teixeira and Dustin Ackley, giving Gregorius five RBI in just six May games. He's also hit safely in four of the last five games, and is slashing .235/.258/.341 through 85 at-bats.
