Wade went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Getting another start at shortstop in place of Gleyber Torres (COVID-19) and batting ninth, Wade doubled his hit total with his first multi-hit performance of the year. The utility infielder's .316 batting average looks good and he has scored five runs in only 21 plate appearances, but he's still looking for his first homer -- or even just his first RBI -- of the season and is 0-for-2 on stolen base attempts, including a caught stealing Saturday.

Wade was recalled prior to Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

He will take the place of Mike Tauchman, who was traded to the Giants, on the Yankees' bench. Wade has gone 1-for-3 while appearing in six games this season.

Wade is seen as an option to be promoted to the big-league roster from the Yankees' alternate training site, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade spent the early part of the season on the active roster, going 1-for-3 and serving primarily as a pinch runner and late-inning replacement before being shipped to the alternate site April 10. Jay Bruce's retirement Sunday leaves open an empty roster spot and a need for a backup first baseman, though Mike Ford might be the most logical candidate for the role. Wade has yet to play first base in the majors, spending most of his time in the middle infield and in the outfield.

Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade won a spot on the Opening Day roster and went 1-for-3 with two runs and a strikeout to begin the season. He'll be removed from the active roster to make room for Rougned Odor, who was activated in a corresponding move. Wade will join the Yankees' taxi squad going forward, while Gio Urshela will now serve as the backup shortstop behind Gleyber Torres.

Wade's spot on the Opening Day roster was confirmed by general manager Brian Cashman on Monday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade doesn't have a path to regular playing time, but his defensive versatility (he's appeared everywhere other than pitcher, catcher and first base) makes him a fine fit for the end of the bench. The Yankees have plenty of injury-prone players ahead of him, which opens up multiple avenues for at-bats, though the career .190/.274/.301 hitter wouldn't have much fantasy appeal even as an everyday starter.

Wade is likely to open the season with a big-league bench spot, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Wade has been battling for a roster spot throughout spring training but hasn't exactly impressed, hitting .194 with 14 strikeouts in 36 at-bats. However, he has notched two stolen bases, and his speed and versatility are likely the two factors that most played into the Yankees' decision to keep him with the big club. While Wade's place on the Opening Day roster hasn't yet been confirmed, Hoch notes that the release of Derek Dietrich and Robinson Chirinos (wrist) seems to make the decision apparent.

Wade is among a handful of Yankees battling for the final bench spots on the team's Opening Day roster, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees are expected to carry four non-pitcher reserves to start the campaign, with Kyle Higashioka (side) and Brett Gardner locks to take up two of the spots. That leaves two remaining roster spots and at least five players -- including Wade, Derek Dietrich, Jay Bruce, Mike Ford and Mike Tauchman -- with a realistic shot of breaking camp with the club. Wade's versatility and speed could be a factor in helping him make the cut, but he hasn't helped his cause with a .143/.136/.238 slash line and 0:10 BB:K this spring.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a victory over Miami on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Wade got the Yankees on the board in the fifth inning with a two-run shot to right field. The long ball -- the first for the Yankees since Sept. 20 -- appeared to wake up New York's bats as both Aaron Hicks and Luke Voit would go on to homer later in the game. The contribution was a rare highlight in a difficult season for Wade in which he is slashing a tepid .176/.297/.318.

Wade entered the game in the 10th inning as a pinch runner Friday against the Marlins and stole a base.

EDGE Analysis

Wade came in to run for Gio Urshela to start the 10th inning. The 25-year-old stole third base but did not score after the Yankees grounded into a game-ending double play. Wade is hitting .171/.296/.280 on the season but is second on the team with four stolen bases and could be used in more late-game scenarios as the Yankees prepare for the playoffs.

Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Orioles.

EDGE Analysis

Wade slotted into the ninth spot in the lineup and produced the Yankees' only long ball of the contest, taking John Means deep in the third inning. The homer was a rare highlight for Wade in September -- he is slashing a meek .129 with 10 strikeouts in 31 at-bats this month.
