Bird went 1-for-4 with a grand slam, a walk and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Bird broke the game open in the third inning with his grand slam that hit off the foul pole in right to give the Yankees a five-run lead. It's taken a while for the 25-year-old to get going after missing the bulk of the opening two months, but he's now riding a five-game hitting streak and has driven in eight runs over the past two games.

Bird is not in the lineup for the first half of Monday's doubleheader in Baltimore, Mike Mazzeo of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

In 35 games since returning from an ankle injury, Bird is hitting a mediocre .202/.321/.404 with five home runs. Neil Walker gets the start at first base in his place.

Bird is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Braves.

EDGE Analysis

Bird has struggled to a .198/.308/.426 line in 31 games since returning from an ankle injury. That line is a near match for the .198/.308/.426 mark he posted in 48 games last season. Brandon Drury will get the start at first base.

Bird is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Bird is coming off a two-homer performance Friday, but will nonetheless head to the bench as the Red Sox send left-hander Chris Sale to the mound. Brandon Drury earns the start at first base for the Yankees after being called up Friday and is batting seventh.

Bird went 2-for-4 with two solo home runs in Friday's 8-1 win over the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

The first baseman had gone 5-for-33 (.152) with only a single RBI in his prior 13 games, but Bird smashed out of his slump with authority Friday. He's still only slashing .204/.315/.452 with five homers in 29 games, but this performance could be a sign that he's finally shaken all the rust out of his swing after his long layoff to begin the season.

Bird is out of the lineup against the Phillies on Wednesday, Mike Mazzeo of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bird will head to the bench after going 1-for-2 with one RBI during Tuesday's victory. In his absence, Neil Walker will man first base and bat seventh in the order.

Bird is not in the lineup Sunday against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Bird has been poor since coming off the disabled list in late May, hitting just .193/.295/.398. That line is not far off the .190/.288/.422 line he posted in 48 games for the Yankees last season, not a productive enough performance for a first baseman. Neil Walker will start in his place Sunday.

Bird is not in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Thursday, Mike Mazzeo of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bird will retreat to the bench with left-hander Blake Snell on the mound for the Rays. During Wednesday's loss to Washington, Bird snapped out of a mini-skid, going 2-for-4 with a solo home run and a double. In his place, Neil Walker will man first base and bat ninth in the order.

Bird went 2-for-4 with a double and a solo home run in Wednesday's 5-4 loss to the Nationals.

EDGE Analysis

It's just his second multi-hit performance since coming off the disabled list. Bird now has three homers in 14 games on the year, and while his .200/.254/.473 slash line remains poor, his power potential should keep him in the Yankees lineup until he's fully shaken off his rust.

Bird isn't in Saturday's lineup against the Mets, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bird is just 1-for-14 over his last three starts, so he'll get a day to regroup, with Tyler Austin taking over at first base and batting seventh.
