Travis Hafner homered in the ninth and singled in a run in the 10th in the Yankees' 6-4 win over the Orioles on Monday. These are games that Baltimore was winning last year. But, of course, the Yankees didn't have Hafner and Vernon Wells then. Hafner's homer off Jim Johnson tied the game in the ninth. Wells had an RBI double to give the Yankees the lead in the 10th, and Hafner went on to single him in for insurance. Hafner also stole a base, well, just because. He has two this year after going 2011 and 2012 without even attempting one.

Travis Hafner (shoulder) clubbed a two-run homer in his return to action Saturday. It sounds like his shoulder is fine. Hafner now has seven homers in 100 at-bats this season, including five in just 54 at-bats at Yankee Stadium. The 35-year-old is not a good bet to hold up, but he should continue to be a useful option in daily fantasy leagues.

Travis Hafner (shoulder) returned to the Yankees' lineup Saturday. Hafner was available to pinch-hit Friday, but didn't start against left-hander Mark Buehrle. He returns after missing the last four games with shoulder tendinitis. With Curtis Granderson now healthy, the Yankees will go with a committee of Hafner and Vernon Wells at designated hitter. Hafner is batting .260/.383/.510 in 32 games this season.

Travis Hafner (shoulder) says he's available to pinch-hit Friday. Hafner hasn't played since Monday due to shoulder tendinitis, but he was encouraged after a batting practice session Thursday. He likely would have started against a right-hander, but southpaw Mark Buehrle is on the hill for the Blue Jays. Perhaps he'll be back in there Saturday against Brandon Morrow.

Travis Hafner (shoulder) is out of the Yankees' lineup for the third straight day Thursday. Hafner hasn't played since Monday due to tendinitis in his right shoulder. He was scheduled to do some hitting prior to Thursday's game, so it's possible that he'll be available to pinch-hit.

Travis Hafner (shoulder) hopes to return to the starting lineup Thursday. Hafner hasn't played since Monday due to shoulder soreness. An MRI on Tuesday revealed tendinitis, so he's considered day-to-day for now.

Travis Hafner will undergo an MRI on his right shoulder. Hafner has been experiencing shoulder soreness recently, so he's going to rest for a few days and try to get some answers. The 35-year-old has a lengthy injury history, so the Yankees will be cautious. Fortunately, the Yankees can plug Vernon Wells in at DH now that Curtis Granderson (forearm) is back from the disabled list.

Travis Hafner went 3-for-4 with three RBI in the Yankees' win over the Astros on Tuesday. Hafner did his damage with three singles, but they were effective as he now has 17 RBI on the young season. Hitting .318, the designated hitter has entrenched himself in the Yankees lineup. When he's hitting like this, he's worth a look in deep mixed leagues.

Travis Hafner homered and tripled in the Yankees' 5-4 defeat of the Blue Jays on Saturday. Hafner hit a three-run shot over the right-center field fence in the bottom of the fourth inning and an RBI triple in the seventh, finishing the day with four total RBI. The veteran designated hitter has been a steal for the Yankees so far, boasting a .309/.433/.727 batting line, six home runs and 14 RBI in 19 games this season. He should keep rolling if he remains healthy.

Travis Hafner belted a pinch-hit, go-ahead solo homer in Wednesday's comeback win over the Diamondbacks. Hafner didn't start with the opposition sending a lefty to the mound, but he got his chance against right-handed electric setup man David Herandnez in the eighth and didn't disappoint. Pronk is now batting .342 with four bombs this season and needs to be started in mixed leagues while he's healthy and has a hot bat.
