Yankees' Austin Romine: Gets day off Sunday

Romine is out of the lineup Sunday against the Pirates, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

Analysis:

Romine continues to handle the bulk of the catching duties while Gary Sanchez (biceps) remains on the disabled list, but he'll cede a start to Kyle Higashioka on getaway day. Though the 28-year-old doesn't own especially impressive career numbers at the MLB level, his .324/.381/.459 line over 42 plate appearances this season probably makes him a worthy lineup option in AL-only and deeper mixed leagues that start two catchers.
