Ackley went 2-for-2 with a home run and three RBI in Sunday's win over the Blue Jays.

EDGE Analysis

Ackley has now received consecutive starts at first base, reaching base four times between the two games. With Mark Teixeira officially out for the season, the 27-year-old appears to be the preferred backup to Greg Bird, and could see some additional time as a fourth or fifth outfield option.
