38 Cameron Maybin RF

Maybin went 2-for-4 with a steal and run in a 5-4 victory against the Mariners on Tuesday.

The veteran outfielder stole second in the ninth with the game tied and then scored the winning run on D.J. LeMahieu's single. It's still a small sample size, but Maybin is really putting together a nice start in New York. Since joining the Yankees on April 25, he is batting .360 (9-for-25) with nine singles, two RBI, six runs and a steal in 25 at-bats during 10 games.

Maybin is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Mariners.

With Clint Frazier (ankle) back from the 10-day injured list, Maybin finds himself as the odd man out of the outfield mix for at least one game. Given that he's supplied a .815 OPS through his first eight games with the Yankees, Maybin might be able to temporarily retain an edge on the final everyday spot in the outfield over Mike Tauchman (.674 OPS). Both players, however, could see their opportunities dwindle as soon as the weekend, when Aaron Hicks (back) may be ready to make his season debut.

Maybin will start in right field and bat eighth Sunday against the Twins, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Maybin finds himself in the lineup for the seventh time in eight games since being acquired from the Indians. He has recorded a hit in each of those contests and carries a solid 5:5 BB:K into Sunday's contests. The Yankees are expected to get another everyday outfielder (Clint Frazier) back from the 10-day injured list by Tuesday, but Mike Tauchman appears likelier than Maybin to lose out on playing time -- and maybe a roster spot -- as a result.

Maybin will be in the starting lineup for his Yankees debut Friday against the Giants, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Maybin was traded to the Yankees from the Indians on Thursday and the team wasted little time in adding him to the major-league roster. Aaron Hicks (back), Aaron Judge (oblique), Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder) and Clint Frazier (ankle) are all on the injured list, leaving New York desperate for outfield depth. Maybin slashed .249/.326/.336 in 384 plate appearances between the Marlins and Mariners last season, and figures to see semi-regular starting chances for the Yankees, at least until the injury situation improves.

Maybin was added to the Yankees' active roster Thursday.

After being acquired from the Indians in exchange for cash considerations Thursday, Maybin signed a major-league contract with the Yankees and was subsequently selected to the team's 25-man roster. The veteran outfielder compiled a lackluster .216/.388/.275 slash line with Triple-A Columbus before being dealt to New York, but the Yankees desperately need outfield help with Aaron Hicks (back), Aaron Judge (oblique), Giancarlo Stanton (shoulder), Clint Frazier (ankle) and Jacoby Ellsbury (foot) all on the shelf, so Maybin could see semi-regular starts until the rest of outfield gets healthier.
