Description: Yankees third baseman Eric Chavez is hitting everything right now. Chavez went 2-for-4 with two RBIs Wednesday. | Insight: Chavez is 12-for-26 with three homers and eight RBIs in his last eight games and is hitting .284 with 11 homers and 28 RBIs on the season.

Sit him. | | |

Description: Eric Chavez has landed on the seven-day DL because of a concussion. | Insight: Chavez has been very productive at the plate this season (.290, 3 HRs, 5 RBIs).

Of course, none of that matters now that Chavez is on the DL. | | |
| 4/20/2012 7:20:00 PM |
Description: Eric Chavez went 2-for-4 with two solo homers on Friday at Boston. | Insight: Chavez will get a few spot starts at the corners to spell Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira, but he likely won't play enough to justify a roster spot in fantasy leagues. | | |

Description: The Yankees have place Eric Chavez on the 15 day DL after breaking his foot on Thursday.

SOURCE: MLB | Insight: Both players have a chance to make the team. Chavez needs to prove he is healthy and that is a big question mark right now. Belliard should still have a spot in the majors as a utility infielder, even if it isn't in New York. | | |
