Tyler Austin

Tyler Austin back on Yankees' bench Thursday night

New York Yankees first baseman/outfielder Tyler Austin will not start Thursday against the Boston Red Sox.

What It Means:

Austin was ejected for his role in Wednesday's bench-clearing brawl. While he awaits discipline from the league, he'll come off the bench in favor of Aaron Hicks at the designated hitter slot.

Our models project Austin for 3 home runs, 8 RBI and a .230 average the rest of the season.
