Drew is not in the lineup Thursday against the Rays, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Drew will take a seat Thursday after starting the last five games. Jose Pirela takes over at second base, while Chase Headley re-enters the lineup at third.

Drew is out of the lineup Friday. As with 2014, he is once again struggling to get his average to the Mendoza Line in 2015, as he currently sits at .169. The Yankees have got to be losing patience with his lack of production at this point, so Friday's starter, Jose Pirela, and minor leaguer Rob Refsnyder could be more appealing options over the rest of the season.

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.

Drew is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays. As he regularly does, Drew will be held out with the Yankees facing a left-handed starter Wednesday. Gregorio Petit will get the start at second base against the Rays and Drew Smyly.

Drew is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Tigers, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. While not in a strict platoon, Gregorio Petit has gotten regular starts against left-handers, so Drew will get the day off to make room in the lineup. Petit will start at second, batting eighth against southpaw David Price.

Drew launched his third homer of the season, going 1-for-3 with an RBI in Friday's win over the Rays. Drew's three home runs already match his total in that department from last season after joining the Yankees. While his power has been good thus far, he has just two hits other than the longballs as he continues to struggle hitting for average with a .167/.235/.467 slash line.

Coming on for an injured Brett Gardner, Drew launched a pinch-hit grand slam in the seventh inning to help lead the Yankees over the Orioles Monday night. Drew has struggled with the bat as the regular second baseman, but has now homered in consecutive games. He's looking to rebound after a 2014 season to forget between the Yankees and the Red Sox.

Drew is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the Orioles, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. Drew will get his second game off in three days as the Yankees face another left-handed pitcher in Wei-Yin Chen. Gregorio Petit will assume second base duties, batting ninth as he fills in for the 32-year-old.

Drew went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in Sunday's win over the Red Sox. After his career worst season in 2014, Drew could be in some jeopardy of keeping his everyday job if the numbers aren't better this time around. Sunday was his most productive day at the plate thus far this season, as he also scored his first run and drew his first walk, but the lefty is now just 3-for-20 in five games so he'll likely have to continue to solid offensive showings going forward.

Drew is out of the lineup Thursday, ESPN New York's Wallace Matthews reports. He is 1-for-7 to start the year and has typically been hitting in the eight hole. Gregorio Petit gets the start at second Thursday, but Drew should be back in the mix Friday.
