RF Nick Swisher will need to step up if the Yankees lose RF Xavier Nady for the season to elbow surgery, as expected. Swisher has shown pop with 14 home runs but has struggled to reach base consistently after an early spurt at the start of the season. Swisher had been upset in spring training about losing the starting job to Nady in a competition and now has his chance to claim it before someone else challenges him. |

Swisher, who homered after talking his way back into the lineup against the Braves on Wednesday, did not start on Friday against the Mets. Recommendation: With Brett Gardner playing well, manager Joe Girardi is going to have to sit Swisher down during his slumps. Fortunately for Swisher, Melky Cabrera hasn't exactly been ripping the cover off the ball lately either, but this situation is worth keeping an eye on. Over his last 10 games, Swisher is 7-for-37 with a homer and three RBI with just two walks and six strikeouts. |
