Drew went 1-for-3 with a walk and a strikeout in Thursday's win over the Orioles.
When they re-signed him over the offseason, the Yankees were hopeful Drew's disappointing 2014 campaign was due to his late start to the season and missing spring training, but to this point he's struggled just as much at the plate in 2015 as he has a slash line of just .169/.268/.361. He's been sitting somewhat regularly against left-handed pitching, but righties have actually posed the bigger problem for Drew this year as he's hitting just .129 against them. With Jose Pirela activated off the DL and with the major league team, it's possible Drew may start to lose even more playing time at second base if he doesn't start hitting.
