Riding pine in matinee Kiner-Falefa isn't starting the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against the Guardians.
Swipes bag in return Kiner-Falefa went 1-for-3 with a stolen base in Tuesday's 2-1 win against Oakland.
Impact Kiner-Falefa sat out the series opener Monday due to a bruised right finger, but he was able to rejoin the lineup Tuesday. The shortstop recorded one of five Yankees hits in the contest, singling in the fifth inning and subsequently stealing second base. The theft was his 11th of the campaign, providing nearly all of his fantasy value given his modest .267/.320/.316 slash line and lack of any homers. He's added 18 RBI and 36 runs over 248 plate appearances.

Rejoins lineup Kiner-Falefa (finger) will start at shortstop and bat seventh in Tuesday's game against the Athletics, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports.
Impact Though Gleyber Torres (wrist) will remain sidelined for a second straight contest, the Yankees will get some reinforcement in the infield with the return of Kiner-Falefa. The 27-year-old shortstop recently missed time with a hamstring injury before bruising his right finger in Sunday's win over the Astros, prompting the Yankees to hold him out of Monday's series opener with Oakland. The day off appears to have provided sufficient recovery time for Kiner-Falefa, who has provided most of his fantasy value this season through his .266 average and 10 stolen bases.

Two-hit game Kiner-Falefa went 2-for-4 with one double, one RBI and one run scored in Saturday's 4-0 shutout win over the Blue Jays.
Impact Kiner-Falefa was offensively involved in both of the innings that led to the Yankees victory. His infield single in the fourth off Alex Manoah loaded the bases which were cleared in the very next at-bat by Aaron Hicks to give the Yankees a 3-0 lead. He would later knock Manoah out of the game with an RBI double in the sixth. Kiner-Falefa is hitting at a similar clip to last season with the Rangers, but he is witnessing an uptick in his counting stats due being part of the Yankees' league-leading offense. Kiner-Falefa is on pace for 85 runs this season - good value for fantasy managers who drafted him in the later rounds.
