Fantasy Analysis
Jeter and manager Joe Girardi had differing opinions on Jeter's injury. Jeter said it was his hand and Girardi said it was the wrist, but neither indicated it was a major injury. The fact Jeter is in Monday's lineup is a good sign he is OK. Jeter saw his hitting streak end at eight games on Sunday. After batting .389 in April, Jeter has slowed down a bit in May, but it's not like he's completely fallen off the map. He entered Monday batting .293 with one homer and eight RBI in 18 May games. It was foolish to think Jeter would keep up his torrid April pace, but he's still productive enough to remain a viable Fantasy start in all formats. (Updated 05/21/2012).

05/22/2012 22:01 Cano, Jeter lift Yankees over Royals
Robinson Cano homered, Phil Hughes beat Kansas City for the second time this month and the New York Yankees - still looking to bust out with the bats - eked out a 3-2 victory over the Royals on Tuesday night.
05/21/2012 22:38 Punchless Yanks shut out by Royals
Felipe Paulino blanked New York for the second time in a month, and Mike Moustakas and Jeff Francoeur hit two-run homers to lead the Kansas City Royals over the reeling Yankees 6-0 on Monday night.
Three weeks into the 2011 season, it looked like the end might be near for Derek Jeter. With 16 games under his belt, Jeter was batting just .219 with one lonely extra base hit. However, from that point on, Jeter posted more typical numbers, putting up a .307/.365/.409 slash line. Despite his recovery from a poor start, there were still signs of erosion in Jeter's value. He doesn't have much power anymore, and for the second straight season, he led the majors with the highest ground ball rate among regulars. The normally durable shortstop appeared in only 131 games last season, as he missed time with a midseason calf strain. Jeter is still a top 10 shortstop, as production at the position thins out quickly after the top six, but long gone are the days when he could be considered elite. Now owners can wait until the middle rounds of mixed league drafts to nab the Yankees' captain. (Updated 2/9/12)
