Yankees' Austin Wells: Plates two runs in return
Wells went 1-for-3 with a walk and two RBI in Friday's 3-0 win against the Cubs.
Wells returned from a two-game absence after taking a hit-by-pitch on the hand Monday. The backstop accounted for the bulk of New York's scoring Friday with a two-run single in the third inning. Now that he's back in action, Wells will likely start behind the plate most of the time when the Yankees face right-handed starters while Jose Trevino is expected to get the call against most southpaws.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Back in action Friday
Wells (hand) is starting behind the plate and batting cleanup Friday against the Cubs.

Wells has gone 0-for-9 with three strikeouts through the first two games of September, but he was plenty productive in August with four homers and a .936 OPS in 22 contests.

Yankees' Austin Wells: X-rays negative on hand
Manager Aaron Boone said Wells, who is out of the lineup Tuesday against the Rangers, had X-rays on his hand come back negative, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
The 25-year-old is dealing with some soreness after being hit by a pitch in Monday's contest, but it appears he's avoided a serious injury. The Yankees have a team day off Thursday, so the club could keep Wells on the bench again Wednesday to provide him three straight days to recover from the injury.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Slugs pair of two-run homers
Wells went 2-for-4 with two home runs and four RBI in Friday's 6-3 victory over St. Louis.
The Yankees backstop extended his team's lead to 4-2 when he launched a 399-foot, two-run homer off Erick Fedde in the third inning. Wells later cracked another two-run homer in the eighth inning, launching it 413 feet off reliever Riley O'Brien to secure his first career multi-homer game. The 25-year-old has been one of the hottest catchers in the league coming out of the All-Star break, hitting .318 (35-for-110) with six homers, 22 RBI and 11 runs scored across his last 32 games.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Blasts 10th home run
Wells went 1-for-3 with a solo home run, a walk and two strikeouts in Monday's 5-2 win against the Nationals.
Wells has been sitting a lot against left-handed starters since the return of Jose Trevino, but he was given the start on Monday against Mitchell Parker. His home run in the sixth inning came against right-handed reliever Tanner Rainey, so all 10 of Wells' home runs have come against righties. Wells should continue to hit in the middle of the lineup against righties, and he is slashing .326/.391/.526 over his last 26 games.

Yankees' Austin Wells: On bench versus lefty
Wells is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Rockies.
For the second time in the series, Wells will give way to platoon mate Jose Trevino behind the dish while southpaw Austin Gomber toes the rubber for the Rockies. Wells should continue to see the bulk of the starts at catcher when the Yankees face right-handed pitching.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Sitting versus southpaw
Wells is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Rockies, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
It's left-hander Kyle Freeland toeing the rubber for the Rockies, so the left-handed hitting Wells will yield to Jose Trevino at catcher. Since Trevino returned from the injured list last week, he has garnered four starts to Wells' three, although the Yankees have faced just two traditional righties over that span (they also faced one righty opener).
