Bird is not in the lineup versus the Tigers on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bird will retreat to the bench in favor of Luke Voit with left-hander Francisco Liriano on the hill for Detroit. Though Bird will likely return to the lineup Friday against right-handed Jordan Zimmermann, manager Aaron Boone may elect to keep Bird sidelined for both weekend matinees with a pair of southpaws on the opposing mound.

Bird is on the bench yet again Monday against the White Sox, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bird sits for the fourth time in five games, though Monday's rest at least comes against a lefty in Carlos Rodon, unlike his previous three days off. Still, it would seem quite justified for him to lose his starting role, as he's hit a miserable .104 over his last 19 games. His .199/.288/.390 season line isn't any better than the .190/.288/.422 line he posted in limited time last season. Meanwhile, Luke Voit has hit .379 with three homers in 10 games since joining the Yankees and fully deserves his recent uptick in playing time.

Bird isn't in Sunday's starting lineup against the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Bird will take a seat after going 0-for-4 with a strikeout in Saturday's matchup. Luke Voit draws the start at first base and he'll bat first in Bird's place.

EDGE Analysis

Bird will remain on the bench for a second straight game as manager Aaron Boone elected to give Luke Voit another start at first base following his multi-home run performance Friday. Since the beginning of the month, Bird is hitting just .127 with a .459 OPS.

Bird is out of the lineup for Friday's game at Baltimore, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bird's miserable month of August continues as he is slashing .127/.205/.254 in 71 at-bats. Luke Voit will start at first base and bat seventh for the series opener against the Orioles.

Bird went 1-for-4 with a walk and a grand slam in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays

EDGE Analysis

Bird capped off a six-run first inning for the Yankees with his bases-loaded homer off Ryan Borucki. The 25-year-old has now left the yard in consecutive games -- raising his season home-run total to 11 -- after a slow start to the month (.148/.235/.295 through 17 games). He'll look to stay locked in at the plate as the Yankees kick off a two-game series with the Marlins on Tuesday.

Bird is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rangers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 25-year-old has just a .467 OPS over the past 14 games, so he'll head to the bench for a day off with lefty Martin Perez hurling for Texas. Luke Voit will fill in for Bird at first base for the afternoon.

Bird is out of the lineup for Friday's game against the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

Bird is 3-for-35 with zero extra-base hits and one RBI in his last 10 games. Luke Voit will start at first base against the Rangers and left-hander Mike Minor.

Bird isn't in Sunday's starting lineup against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bird is set for a rare off day as left-hander David Price is slated to toe the rubber for the opposition. Luke Voit will take over at first base and bat sixth in Bird's absence.

Bird went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Saturday against the Indians.

EDGE Analysis

Bird took Mike Clevinger deep in the sixth inning to record his eighth home run of the season. He extended his hitting streak to eight games, during which he has gone 9-for-28 with three home runs, five runs scored and 12 RBI. However, he hasn't been able to put together consistent success this season, likely due to his struggles against lefties and relatively high strikeout rate.
