Twins' Gant leaves after 12 pitches vs Yanks with abs strain
Minnesota Twins starter John Gant lasted just 12 pitches against the New York Yankees, leaving after straining his lower abdomenSEPTEMBER 13, 2021 • Associated Press
Playing time picks up Gardner will start in center field and bat second Monday against the Twins.
Impact Making his seventh start in eight games, Gardner appears to have won out over Luke Voit in their battle for one spot in New York's everyday lineup. Voit will crack the lineup Monday at first base in place of a resting Anthony Rizzo and will slot in at designated hitter when the Yankees want to put all of their best power bats in the lineup, but Gardner gives the team a better defensive outfield and helps minimize potential injury risk to Giancarlo Stanton. Moreover, Gardner has emerged as one of the team's better hitters amid its sluggish start to September; he's slashing .281/.324/.531 through the Yankees' first 11 games of the month.

Slaps eighth homer Gardner went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's 8-7 win over the Mets.
Impact Gardner slammed a two-run shot off Taijuan Walker in the second inning. It was the second of three Yankees long balls in that inning. The veteran has an extra-base hit in three of his last four games. On the season, he is slashing .222/.332/.353 with eight home runs, 31 RBI, 42 runs and three steals in 287 plate appearances.

Pops seventh homer Gardner went 1-for-5 with a three-run home run in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Blue Jays.
Impact He accounted for all the Yankees' offense with a fifth-inning blast off Alek Manoah. Gardner has started eight of the last 10 games and has hit marginally better over that stretch, slashing .259/.355/.370, but on the year he's still only batting .217 with seven homers, five steals, 29 RBI and 39 runs through 375 plate appearances.

Filling part-time outfield role Gardner will start in center field and bat eighth Monday against the Blue Jays.
Impact Though Gardner will be back in the lineup for the series opener, he appears to have moved into more of a part-time role with manager Aaron Boone having shown more of a willingness to use Aaron Judge in center field and Giancarlo Stanton in right field of late. Stanton will get a day out of the field and serve as a designated hitter Monday, thereby opening up a spot in the outfield for Gardner, who had started in only six of the Yankees' last 13 games.

Playing time picks up Gardner will start in center field and bat ninth Wednesday against the Angels.
Impact After sitting out five times in a six-game stretch last week, Gardner looked like he had moved into a fourth-outfielder role for New York. However, he'll end up picking up a fourth consecutive start Wednesday, perhaps suggesting that his time as a near-everyday player hasn't yet come to an end. Even so, Gardner's .213 batting average and declining power and speed probably won't make him worthy of rostering outside of AL-only leagues.

Remains out of lineup Gardner isn't starting Saturday's game against the Athletics.

Goes yard in win Gardner went 1-for-4 with a solo home run as the Yankees defeated the Athletics, 7-6 on Thursday.
Impact Starting in center field after dealing with an injury, Gardner launched his sixth home run of the season in the second inning to pad New York's early lead.
