Wade went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Thursday in a loss to the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wade has taken advantage of Gleyber Torres' (thumb) recent absence, picking up starts in three of four games since Torres was moved to the 10-day injured list. In those three contests, Wade has gone 6-for-10 with a pair of walks and four steals. Fantasy managers in need of a short-term injection of thefts may want to take a glance at Wade, who could continue to see a healthy amount of playing time with both Torres and Gio Urshela (hamstring) expected to be out at least another week.

Wade went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old made a start in left field and reached base in three of his four plate appearances. While a pair of steals is only mildly noteworthy for the speedy Wade, Wednesday was the first game all season he's logged multiple extra-base hits. Mainly as an off-the-bench utility man, Wade has a .262/.340/.333 slash line with 10 thefts, four RBI, 22 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 94 plate appearances. He is in line for an uptick in playing time while Gleyber Torres (thumb) and Gio Urshela (hamstring) are missing from the Yankees' infield.

Wade went 2-for-3 with three runs, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 8-6 victory versus the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Wade got the start at third base and was productive out of the eight spot, reaching base three times and scoring three of the team's eight runs. He also nabbed his eighth steal of the season. Wade will likely see more playing time for as long as Gleyber Torres (thumb) remains on the injured list. His career .202 batting average and almost non-existent power make him difficult to roster in fantasy leagues, but Wade could be a decent source of steals for managers desperate for help in that category.

Wade went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 win over Miami.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old started the game at third base and batted eighth, and he played seven innings before DJ LeMahieu pinch hit for him in the eighth. Wade continues to fill a utility role for the Yankees. He's posted seven steals in 10 attempts, along with two RBI and 17 runs scored through 83 plate appearances.

Wade stole a base as a pinch runner for Giancarlo Stanton in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wade notched his sixth steal in eight chances with two outs in the ninth inning of Sunday's contest, but Rougned Odor popped out to end the Yankees' hope of tying the game. The 26-year-old Wade continues to see mostly a bench role, as he has two RBI, 17 runs scored, a triple and a double in just 71 plate appearances this year.

Wade will start at third base and bat ninth Thursday against the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Wade has indirectly benefited from Chris Gittens nursing a sore Achilles' tendon. With the injury relegating Gittens to a bench role for the third game in a row, DJ LeMahieu will shift over to first base, clearing the way for Wade to stick in the lineup at the hot corner. While starting the past two contests, Wade has gone hitless with a walk and a stolen base across seven plate appearances.

Wade was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old was demoted to Triple-A last weekend but will rejoin the big-league club with Michael King (finger) landing on the injured list. Wade will be a utility option in the infield, though he's unlikely to see much action with the rest of the infield currently healthy.

Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Wade had been with the major-league club for over two months, but he saw sporadic playing time and had started in just two games since May 31. He's hit .224 with a triple, 14 runs, four stolen bases and two RBI in the big leagues this year. The 26-year-old could see more at-bats in the minors, while left-hander Wandy Peralta will remain on the active roster after he served as the 27th man for Sunday's twin bill against the Mets.

Wade stole second base and scored as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Wade was summoned for his speed in the eighth inning of a tie game. He pinch ran for Miguel Andujar and wasted little time stealing second, then came around to score the decisive run on Clint Frazier's double. In addition to his three thefts on the season, Wade is slashing .250/.302/.300 with 10 runs and two RBI.

Wade went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Wade was called upon to enter the game in the third inning after Ryan LaMarre had to be taken out with an apparent right hamstring injury. The 26-year-old Wade came through in the sixth with an RBI triple and a sharply hit ball that rolled all the way to the wall in right-center field. He later would trot home to put the Yankees up 2-0 on a sac fly to left. The RBI was his first of the season and he could see some increased opportunities coming up with the outfield decimated by injuries.
