Kiner-Falefa (finger) will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Gleyber Torres (wrist) will remain sidelined for a second straight contest, the Yankees will get some reinforcement in the infield with the return of Kiner-Falefa. The 27-year-old shortstop recently missed time with a hamstring injury before bruising his right finger in Sunday's win over the Astros, prompting the Yankees to hold him out of Monday's series opener with Oakland. The day off appears to have provided sufficient recovery time for Kiner-Falefa, who has provided most of his fantasy value this season through his .266 average and 10 stolen bases.

Kiner-Falefa (hamstring) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
Kiner-Falefa's absence from the lineup doesn't come as a major surprise after he was withheld from the lineup for Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays due to a sore hamstring. Until the injury presents no issues for Kiner-Falefa while he runs the bases and moves around laterally in the field, he'll likely remain on the bench. Marwin Gonzalez draws the start at shortstop in the series opener in Tampa Bay.

Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with one double, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 4-0 shutout win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Kiner-Falefa was offensively involved in both of the innings that led to the Yankees victory. His infield single in the fourth off Alex Manoah loaded the bases which were cleared in the very next at-bat by Aaron Hicks to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead. He would later knock Manoah out of the game with an RBI double in the sixth. Kiner-Falefa is hitting at a similar clip to last season with the Rangers, but he is witnessing an uptick in his counting stats due being part of the Yankees' league-leading offense. Kiner-Falefa is on pace for 85 runs this season - good value for fantasy managers who drafted him in the later rounds.
