| News: Swisher, who homered and doubled in the Yankees' 6-3 win over Oakland on Friday, fouled a ball off his ankle in the fifth inning and was icing the ankle after the game, the New York Post reports. | Impact: "[The ankle is] all right, you can't hurt steel," Swisher said. He added that he "took a little different approach. I tried to drive the ball more." Swisher had been in a 3-for-32 slump before Friday night, and it sounds like he's making some adjustments to break out of the slump.(RotoWire, ) |

| News: Swisher had a two-run double in the Yankees' 8-5 win over Baltimore on Monday. | Impact: Despite missing a week with a hamstring issue earlier this month, Swisher is tied for fifth in the AL with 26 RBI. Swisher has historically been a bit of a slow starter and has heated up in the summer months, so if he can sustain his strong start to this season he could be in line for a big year.(RotoWire, ) |
