Holliday (back) said he expects the Yankees to activate him from the 10-day disabled list Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Holliday has appeared in seven games during his rehab assignment at High-A Tampa, going 6-for-25 with five RBI. The Yankees moved Holliday to the disabled list Aug. 6 with a left lumbar strain, but it doesn't appear as though the issue has bothered him during the minor-league contests. Upon rejoining the Yankees, Holliday will likely settle back in as the primary option at designated hitter, leaving fewer at-bats available for the likes of Jacoby Ellsbury, Todd Frazier and Ronald Torreyes.
