Cordero was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
He had just been recalled Monday when Aaron Judge (hip) went on the injured list but is headed right back to SWB following Harrison Bader's (oblique) return. Cordero has four homers but a .578 OPS and 20:2 K:BB in 18 games this season.

Cordero was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero was just optioned this past Friday but is back now to replace the injured Aaron Judge (hip). He had been slumping badly before the demotion but could see some starts versus righties with the Yankees' outfield depth being tested.

Cordero was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre by the Yankees on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero started off on fire for the Yankees after signing with the team just before the season, but the outfielder hasn't picked up a hit since April 14 and saw his average fall to .151 with another hitless affair against the Rangers on Friday. The Yankees will announce a corresponding move before Saturday's game versus Texas.

Cordero is not in the lineup Thursday versus the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero did not start Wednesday with a right-hander on the mound for the Twins and he's sitting again Thursday with left-hander Andrew Heaney toeing the slab for Texas. The 28-year-old flourished over his first two weeks with the Yankees, but he is 0-for-18 with seven strikeouts and zero walks over his last eight games.

Cordero is not in the starting lineup Wednesday versus the Twins, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero will get a breather as the Yankees face right-hander Kenta Maeda on the mound. Left-handed batter Willie Calhoun will draw the start in right field and bat sixth as New York looks to avoid the sweep against Minnesota.

Cordero is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
He'll be on the bench for the third time in four games, but unlike his prior two absences, the Yankees are opposing a right-handed starting pitcher (Kevin Gausman) on Sunday. The lefty-hitting Cordero's hold on a strong-side platoon role looks as though it may be loosening while he's fallen into a 1-for-18 rut at the dish over his last seven games.

Cordero will start in right field and bat ninth Wednesday versus the Angels, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero was on the bench for both of the Yankees' past two games, but so long as at least two of Giancarlo Stanton (hamstring), Harrison Bader (oblique) and Josh Donaldson (hamstring) are on the injured list, the 28-year-old should have a fairly clear path to playing regularly versus right-handed pitching. Through 39 plate appearances this season, Cordero owns a robust .824 OPS, but a 30.8 percent strikeout rate has kept his batting average down at .216.

Cordero went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 4-3 victory over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero got his fourth straight start and took advantage of the opportunity again, slugging a game-tying solo homer in the seventh inning. The long ball was his fourth in his past five contests and ensured that he has reached base in all seven games in which he has played in 2023. Cordero leads New York with 11 RBI and is tied with Aaron Judge for the team lead in homers despite logging just 27 plate appearances.

Cordero went 1-for-4 with a three-run homer in Tuesday's win over Cleveland.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero took Hunter Gaddis deep to give the Yankees a 6-2 lead over the Guardians. The outfielder has already socked three homers on the year and he's up to 10 RBI over six appearances and 21 at-bats. Cordero's strong start to 2023 gives him the opportunity to earn regular playing time with the Yankees as the season progresses.

Cordero went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 5-3 win over the Orioles on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Cordero has played in just four games for New York this season, but he's made a big impact on offense. His two-run homer Sunday amounted to the winning margin and marked his second straight game with a long ball. Cordero has gotten at least one hit in each of the contests in which he has appeared and is tied for the team lead with seven RBI despite logging just 15 plate appearances.
