Headley was removed early from Monday's win against the Reds after being hit by pitch in the right knee, and is likely to miss Tuesday's game as a result, George A. King of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Both Headley and manager Joe Girardi expressed their belief that it wasn't overly serious, but the third baseman reported some soreness at the conclusion of Monday's contest. The 33-year-old figures to sit at least one game, and with the club's scheduled off day on Wednesday, he'll get the opportunity to rest his knee for at least a couple of days. Headley, who's in the midst of an 0-for-14 stretch that's dropped his average to .270, will likely be replaced at third by Ronald Torreyes for any time he misses.
