Jayson Nix went 2-for-3 with a double Friday in a loss to the Athletics.

It was Nix's first multi-hit game since April 25. The 30-year-old has received regular playing time at third base with Kevin Youkilis (back) on the shelf, but things could change now that Chris Nelson is in the fold. May 3 - 10:16 PM

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Jayson Nix went 3-for-4 with a two-run homer in Sunday's win over the Tigers.

The longball came in the second inning off of Justin Verlander, and he nearly took him deep again in a later at-bat, but the ball went just foul. Nix has been thrust into shortstop duty with both Derek Jeter and Eduardo Nunez on the shelf and will likely be in the lineup for the next couple days.

Apr 7 - 4:58 PM

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Yankees purchased the contract of INF Jayson Nix from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Nix was removed from the 40-man roster during the offseason, but he has successfully secured a spot on the Opening Day roster. We should see him start at third base against left-handed pitching, including Opening Day against Jon Lester and the Red Sox. However, his fantasy impact will likely be minimal.

Mar 29 - 6:05 PM

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Yankees sent INF Jayson Nix outright to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Nix cleared waivers after being designated for assignment last week. Nix, 30, batted .243/.306/.384 with four homers and a .690 OPS in 74 games with the Yankees this past season and figures to compete for a backup infielder job in the spring.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Yankees designated INF Jayson Nix for assignment.

The two sides agreed to a contract earlier in the day to avoid arbitration. Provided he accepts the assignment to Triple-A, he'll provide organizational depth and compete for a reserve infielder job during the spring.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Yankees and INF Jayson Nix avoided arbitration by agreeing to a contract.

No word yet on the exact terms, but it doesn't figure to be for much, as Nix was arbitration-eligible for the first time this winter. The 30-year-old batted .243/.306/.384 with four homers and a .690 OPS in 74 games with the Bombers this past season and will likely function as a backup infielder again next season.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Jayson Nix went 0-for-3 in the Yankees' ALCS Game 2 loss to the Tigers on Sunday in New York.

Nix is serving as the Yankees' starting shortstop in the absence of Derek Jeter (ankle) but could be in danger of being replaced by Eduardo Nunez if he fails to produce at the plate. Nix batted .243/.306/.384 with four home runs and 18 RBI in 74 games during the regular season.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Jayson Nix will be the team's starting shortstop for the remainder of the postseason with Derek Jeter (ankle) out.

Eduardo Nunez will be added to the roster to take the spot of Jeter, who fractured his left ankle in the 12th inning of Saturday's loss to the Tigers. Nix, 30, had a couple hits in his lone start this postseason, but he's a career .214/.285/.371 hitter over parts of five major league seasons. Obviously, it's not an ideal situation for the Yanks.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Jayson Nix is expected to be part of the Yankees' roster for their ALDS matchup with the Orioles.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi hasn't announced anything yet, but Andruw Jones, Casey McGehee and Chris Dickerson have reportedly already been told that they will be left off. Which gives Nix the final bench spot.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

MLB.com's Bryan Hoch reports Jayson Nix will miss 10-14 days with a strained left hip flexor.

The injury rules him out for the Yankees' final four games, and it's possible Nix won't be added to the postseason roster. With Nix out, Eduardo Nunez will serve as the primary backup at shortstop and second base.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Jayson Nix will have an MRI on his left hip Saturday.

The severity of the injury (or when it occurred) isn't yet known, but Nix may have got hurt filling in for Alex Rodriguez on Thursday. With Nix out, Eduardo Nunez will serve as the Yankees' primary backup infielder.

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Jayson Nix went 2-for-3 and scored a run, helping to lead the Yankees to a 2-1 win over the Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Nix singled in the first inning, and came around to score the first run of the game on a Nick Swisher single. He has only seen sporadic playing time, and isn't a useful player in fantasy formats, but has been a solid bench bat for the Yankees this season. He's now hitting .255 with four homers, 16 RBI and five steals in 137 at-bats on the year.

Tue, Aug 28, 2012 10:01:00 PM

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Pinch-hitter Jayson Nix delivered a three-run double in the top of the eighth as the Yankees came back to beat the Mariners 5-2 on Wednesday.

The Yankees were down 2-1 when Nix was brought in to hit for Raul Ibanez. The Mariners countered by removing lefty Lucas Luetge and putting in right-hander Shawn Kelley, but Nix got the job done anyway. He should have some value in AL-only leagues while Alex Rodriguez is out.

Wed, Jul 25, 2012 07:22:00 PM

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Jayson Nix connected on his first home run of the season Saturday in New York, helping to lead the Yankees to a 6-2 victory over the Mariners.

Nix went yard off Hector Noesi in the second inning. He has been used very sparingly in the early part of the season and is doubtful to suddenly gain fantasy relevance.

Sat, May 12, 2012 06:47:00 PM

Jayson Nix - 3B - Yankees

Yankees purchased the contract of INF Jayson Nix from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

With Eric Chavez ailing, the Yanks needed to add some emergency infield depth. Nix was batting .233/.314/.367 at the Triple-A level. He won't carry any fantasy value.

Depth Charts

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Francisco Cervelli D.L. Francisco Cervelli will have the stitches removed from his right hand Tuesday. Cervelli fractured his hand late last month when he was struck by a foul tip. His cast is expected to come off in three weeks while he's about five weeks away from baseball activities. Chris Stewart and Austin Romine will continue to split catching duties for now. May 7
	2	Chris Stewart Sidelined The New York Post confirms Chris Stewart (groin) will not be placed on the disabled list. Stewart injured himself when he slid into third base awkwardly during Thursday's game, but he's not expected to miss more than 2-3 days. An MRI on Friday ruled out structural damage and the Yankees are listing him as day-to-day. May 18
	3	Austin Romine
1B	1	Mark Teixeira D.L. Mark Teixeira (wrist) is aiming to return from the disabled list on May 30 or 31. "It's great -- I couldn't be happier with my rehab," Teixeira said. "I'm looking at the end of May, sometime around the 30th or 31st maybe, to get back out there playing with the Yankees. I'm feeling great." Teixeira has been taking batting practice in the cages but still needs to take live BP on the field. "I would say the next step would be some live BP; we're not there yet," manager Joe Girardi said. "Then maybe some sim games, hopefully, then some rehab games. That's the progression, but we're still in the BP phase." May 15
	2	Lyle Overbay
2B	1	Robinson Cano
	2	Alberto Gonzalez
SS	1	Derek Jeter D.L. Derek Jeter (ankle) is close to getting the walking boot on his left foot removed again. Jeter had a routine checkup recently and was told his left ankle is healing. Once the boot is removed, he'll be eased into baseball activities again. The future Hall of Famer won't be an option at shortstop for the Yankees until after the All-Star break. May 16
	2	Eduardo Nunez D.L. Yankees placed SS Eduardo Nunez on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 6, with a rib cage injury. Nunez recently resumed swinging a bat, but he's obviously still not feeling well enough to be playing. The Yankees will continue to roll with Jayson Nix at shortstop, with Alberto Gonzalez getting called up to provide infield depth. May 12
	3	Jayson Nix
	4	Reid Brignac
3B	1	Alex Rodriguez D.L. Alex Rodriguez (hip) hit off a tee and ran Wednesday in a 40-man workout at the Yankees' complex in Tampa. Rodriguez was cleared for baseball activities last weekend and is now easing into heavy workouts down in Florida. The veteran third baseman is not targeting a specific return date but should be available sometime around the All-Star break if everything goes according to plan. He is on his way back from January hip surgery. May 9
	2	Kevin Youkilis D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Kevin Youkilis (back) will take batting practice "pretty soon." Youkilis has hit off a tee and taken soft-toss and is nearing the next step. The Yankees haven't set a timetable for his return, but it's looking like he'll probably be back sometime in late May or early June. May 17
	3	David Adams
LF	1	Curtis Granderson
	2	Vernon Wells
CF	1	Brett Gardner
RF	1	Ichiro Suzuki
	2	Ben Francisco
DH	1	Travis Hafner
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	CC Sabathia
	2	Hiroki Kuroda
	3	Andy Pettitte D.L. Yankees placed LHP Andy Pettitte on the 15-day disabled list with a strained trapezius muscle. Pettitte suffered the injury during Thursday's start against the Mariners. It's believed to be minor, but the Yankees don't want to take any chances with the 40-year-old southpaw. Vidal Nuno is slated to replace him on the active roster and will likely get a start or two. May 17
	4	Phil Hughes
	5	Ivan Nova D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi indicated that Ivan Nova (triceps, side) is slated to pitch Monday in Tampa. Nova, currently sidelined with triceps inflammation, experienced discomfort in his upper back while playing catch over the weekend. However, it apparently wasn't a major setback. The assumption is that he'll pitch in extended spring training on Monday, though there's nothing official on that yet. David Phelps will continue to fill his spot in the rotation for now. May 16
	6	David Phelps
	7	Michael Pineda D.L. Michael Pineda (shoulder) is scheduled to throw 50 pitches Friday, either in extended spring training or an intrasquad game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi didn't disclose any plans about a rehab assignment, but he expects Pineda to pitch in the majors at some point this summer. "We’ll continue to build him up," said Girardi. "Starters, as you know, take a lot longer than relievers because you have to get them to 100 pitches. For a kid that hasn’t pitched in a couple of years, that’s something you may want to see a couple of times to make sure he’s ready to go every fifth day." May 16
	8	Vidal Nuno
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Mariano Rivera
	2	David Robertson
	3	Boone Logan
	4	Joba Chamberlain D.L. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) needs at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the disabled list. Chamberlain gave up two hits in a scoreless frame Tuesday night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but the Yankees think he needs more work before returning. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late April with an oblique strain. May 16
	5	Shawn Kelley
	6	Adam Warren
	7	Cesar Cabral D.L. Cesar Cabral (elbow) threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in an extended spring training game. Cabral worked around a single by Delmon Young to complete the frame. The 24-year-old left-hander missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his elbow. It's not clear when he'll begin an official minor league rehab assignment. Apr 17
	8	Preston Claiborne
	9	Dellin Betances
