Jun 19 2025Wade is not in Thursday's lineup against the Athletics. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade's playing time is drying up even in the absence of Jackson Merrill (concussion), as he's been out of the lineup in five of the Padres' last six games. Bryce Johnson is in center field for Thursday's game, drawing his second straight start.
Jun 15 2025Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Diamondbacks. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Even with Jackson Merrill's (concussion) placement on the 7-day injured list Sunday opening up an extra spot in the outfield, the lefty-hitting Wade will be bypassed for a start as the Padres go with the right-handed-hitting Brandon Lockridge in center field against Arizona right-hander Merrill Kelly. Wade has now sat in three of the Padres' last four matchups with right-handers, and his outlook for playing time likely won't improve in the near future with Jason Heyward (oblique) due back from the IL soon.
Jun 11 2025Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade had started each of the last three games in left field and went 2-for-7 with a triple and three RBI, but he'll give way to Gavin Sheets while Xander Bogaerts gets a day out of the infield and serves as the Padres' designated hitter. Until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list, Wade could serve as the Padres' primary option in left field, at least against right-handed pitching.
Jun 1 2025Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though he'll take a seat for the second day in a row while the Pirates send another lefty (Andrew Heaney) to the bump, Wade had gained traction of late in the Padres' everyday lineup against righties. He started in either left or right field in each of the Padres' previous three matchups with righties and could end up holding down a strong-side platoon role until Jason Heyward (oblique) returns from the injured list.
May 7 2025Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade had started in 15 of the Padres' previous 17 games, with most of his playing time coming in center field. He'll be ticketed for a backup role in the outfield moving forward after the Padres welcomed Jackson Merrill back from the injured list Tuesday, and Wade's opportunities to play in the middle infield will also soon become limited with Jake Cronenworth (rib) on track to be activated this weekend.
May 4 2025Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Pirates. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: San Diego is stocking up on extra right-handed bats to counter southpaw Andrew Heaney, so the lefty-hitting Wade will hit the bench for the second day in a row while Brandon Lockridge gets another start in center field. Both Wade and Lockridge could see their opportunities dwindle during the upcoming week, as Jackson Merrill (hamstring) is on track to return from the 10-day injured list.
Apr 14 2025Wade is starting in center field and batting eighth against the Cubs on Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade appears to be San Diego's top option at center field with Jackson Merrill (hamstring) and Brandon Lockridge (hamstring) both on the 10-day injured list. Wade will make his first major-league start of the season Monday after filling in as a defensive substitute twice during the weekend series against the Rockies. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 regular-season games for the Padres in 2024, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight stolen bases, 28 runs scored and eight RBI across 155 plate appearances.
Apr 11 2025The Padres selected Wade's contract from Triple-A El Paso on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With Jake Cronenworth (rib) headed for the injured list, the Padres will bring Wade back onto their major-league roster in order to make up for lost infield depth. The 30-year-old appeared in 90 games for San Diego last season, slashing .217/.285/.239 with eight RBI across 155 plate appearances and logging eight steals. Matt Waldron (oblique) was transferred to the 60-day IL in a corresponding move.
Apr 1 2025Wade cleared waivers Tuesday and was outrighted to Triple-A El Paso. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was designated for assignment Thursday after losing his spot on the roster to Jose Iglesias. Wade will get to stick with the Padres organization in their farm system. The 30-year-old made his last appearance in the minors during 2023 for Triple-A Las Vegas after the Athletics designated him for assignment.
Mar 28 2025The Padres designated Wade for assignment Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade turned in a .524 OPS over 90 games with San Diego last season, but the Padres valued him mostly for his ability to play three infield spots and all three outfield positions. His versatility wasn't enough to win him a spot on the Opening Day roster, as Jose Iglesias is capable of providing similar defensive coverage in the infield while bringing a more potent bat to the table.
Mar 24 2025Wade is not expected to be included on the Padres' Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade posted a .524 OPS for the Padres last season and had just a .641 OPS this spring. The utility player is out of minor-league options, so he will have to be traded or go through the waivers process.
Mar 22 2025Wade went 2-for-3 with a home run, three total RBI and a walk in Friday's Cactus League victory against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade plated three of San Diego's five runs, laying down an RBI bunt single in the fourth inning and slugging a two-run shot to right field in the sixth. The first of the two hits was more in line with Wade's skill set, as he ranked in the 85th percentile in sprint speed last year and has just seven home runs over eight big-league regular seasons. Wade has a .205/.279/.333 slash line this spring as he competes for a roster spot as a utility man for the Padres.
Nov 22 2024Wade signed a one-year, $900,000 contract with the Padres on Friday to avoid arbitration, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade struggled at the big-league level in 2024, slashing just .217/.285/.239 across 155 plate appearances. However, the Padres will keep him around for another year to serve as bench depth, and the 29-year-old will earn a $50,000 raise in the process.
Aug 24 2024Wade is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade got the first crack at shortstop duties following Ha-Seong Kim's (shoulder) injury but didn't capitalize on the opportunity, going 0-for-11 at the dish. He'll yield to Mason McCoy for a third consecutive contest Saturday and it appears as though Wade has been usurped by McCoy as the Padres temporary starting shortstop.
Aug 23 2024Wade isn't in the Padres' lineup for Friday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has gone 0-for-11 over his last four contests, and he'll now sit down for a second consecutive game while Mason McCoy picks up another start at shortstop in place of the injured Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder).
Aug 22 2024Wade isn't in the Padres' lineup for Thursday's game against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After going 0-for-11 over his last four games while filling in for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), Wade will get a breather Thursday as Mason McCoy starts at shortstop and bats ninth.
Aug 21 2024Wade will start at shortstop and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Twins, Jeff Sanders of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade is in the lineup for a third straight game, as the Padres appear to have settled on him as their primary replacement at shortstop for Ha-Seong Kim (shoulder), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday. Though he is a competent defender in the middle infield, Wade shouldn't be expected to provide much fantasy value other than the occasional stolen base while he's getting regular playing time. He's batting .231 with no home runs in 138 plate appearances with the Padres in 2024 and is a lifetime .219/.295/.291 hitter over parts of eight seasons in the big leagues.
Aug 7 2024Wade went 2-for-3 with two runs, an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 6-0 win against Pittsburgh. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was a semi-regular presence in the Padres' lineup at third base for a portion of April while Manny Machado was limited to DH duties, but since the latter returned to the field, Wade has played sporadically. Tuesday marked his first start of the second half, and he did well with the opportunity, registering his first multi-hit game since May 22. Wade has given San Diego speed off the bench with eight steals in nine tries this season, but he's otherwise been a non-factor in fantasy with a .245/.322/.264 slash line, no homers, 21 runs and eight RBI over 121 plate appearances.
Jul 14 2024Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against Atlanta. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will head back to the bench for the Padres' final game before the All-Star break after he picked up his first start since July 4 in Saturday's 4-0 win. While filling in at shortstop for a resting Ha-Seong Kim, Wade went 1-for-2 with a run scored and his seventh stolen base of the season. Wade's playing time will likely remain light moving forward, with most of his opportunities coming as a late-inning defensive replacement or pinch runner.
May 2 2024Wade went 1-for-4 with two runs and a stolen base in Wednesday's 6-2 victory against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade got a start at second base in place of the resting Xander Bogaerts and scored two of San Diego's six runs. The veteran began the campaign logging regular time at third base due to Manny Machado being relegated to DH duties following offseason shoulder surgery, but Machado has since returned to playing the field, cutting into both Wade's and Eguy Rosario's playing time. Wade is batting just .230 over 71 plate appearances, but he's stolen five bags and posted a useful 11.6 percent walk rate.
May 1 2024Wade will start at second base and bat ninth Wednesday against the Reds. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will stay in the starting nine for the second straight day, but his run of regular playing time at third base against right-handed pitching has come to an end with Manny Machado having recently been cleared to play defense after he had been deployed exclusively at designated hitter for much of the first month of the season. With Machado likely to start at third base more often than not, Wade looks poised to serve as a utility man moving forward. Wade will pick up his first start of the season at second base while Xander Bogaerts receives a day off.
Apr 26 2024Wade was the Padres' starting left fielder in Thursday's loss against Colorado and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a run and a stolen base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade got his first look in the outfield this season -- previously, all of his defensive work had come at either third or second base. The veteran has plenty of outfield experience in his career, logging at least a handful of games there in every campaign except 2020. Wade's versatility could help him continue to start semi-regularly even as Eguy Rosario gets more reps at third base. Rosario has started at the hot corner in three of San Diego's past four contests, with Thursday's game being particularly notable as the Rockies started a right-handed pitcher.
Apr 24 2024Wade is not in the starting lineup for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: As a lefty-hitter, Wade will hand off the start to righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base as southpaw Ty Blach takes the mound. Wade has seen the majority of playing time at third base with 16 starts out of 26 games this season, due to Manny Machado being limited to serving as the designated hitter as he continues to recover from an offseason elbow injury.
Apr 22 2024Wade is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Rockies. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Wade will give way to the righty-hitting Eguy Rosario at third base while southpaw Austin Gomber takes the hill for Colorado. Wade had started in three of the previous four games and continues to see the majority of the time at the hot corner while Manny Machado (paternity) remains limited to designated hitter duties following his offseason elbow surgery.
Apr 14 2024Wade will not start Sunday against the Dodgers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has taken the bulk of starts at the third base this season, but he won't start Sunday as Eguy Rosario takes the field. The 30-year-old Wade went 4-for-8 to begin the year but has gone 4-for-27 across his past 12 games.
Apr 10 2024Wade will start at third base and bat ninth in Wednesday's game against the Cubs. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade had been part of a messy three-man timeshare at third base during the first full week of the regular season, but he seems to have moved into a larger side of the platoon with Eguy Rosario at the position after the Padres cleared up the logjam by optioning Graham Pauley to Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Wade will garner his fifth straight start Wednesday after going 1-for-9 with a walk and a stolen base over the previous four contests. Both Wade and Rosario will lose out on opportunities at the hot corner once Manny Machado -- who has been limited to designated-hitter duties thus far -- completes his throwing program as he works his way back from October surgery to repair a tendon in his right elbow.
Apr 3 2024Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cardinals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He'll remain on the bench with southpaw Zack Thompson on the hill for St. Louis, but the lefty-hitting Wade had already been withheld from the starting nine in two of the previous three games in which the Padres faced off against right-handers. After manning third base for each of San Diego's first three contests of the regular season, Wade's perch atop the depth chart seems to be loosening, with Graham Pauley and Eguy Rosario beginning to earn more playing time at his expense. All three players are likely to see their opportunities dwindle, however, once Manny Machado is cleared to play the hot corner on an everyday basis, as he remains limited to designated-hitter duties for now following October elbow surgery.
Mar 31 2024Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game versus the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has started at third base in four of San Diego's five games, but he'll head to the bench for Sunday's series finale. Graham Pauley will step in at the hot corner and bat eighth.
Mar 29 2024Wade is not in the Padres' lineup Friday against the Giants. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the Giants starting left-hander Kyle Harrison on Friday, Eguy Rosario will draw the start at third base and bat eighth. Wade was the third baseman Thursday and went 1-for-3 with one run, one RBI and one strikeout.
Mar 19 2024The Padres selected Wade from Triple-A El Paso on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: After signing a minor-league contract with the Padres in November, Wade will officially join the big-league club ahead of San Diego's opening series in South Korea against the Dodgers. Wade slashed .294/.351/.471 across 37 spring plate appearances and gives the Padres another option at third base with Manny Machado (elbow) limited to a DH role at the moment.
Aug 3 2023Wade was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade spent only a couple of days in the majors this time around and did not see the field. The 28-year-old utility man is a career .217/.293/.300 hitter at baseball's highest level.
Aug 1 2023The Athletics selected Wade's contract from Triple-A Las Vegas on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was sent outright to Las Vegas in mid-July, but he'll return to Oakland after slashing .297/.366/.405 over 10 games since his demotion. He'll take the place of Manny Pina, who was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.
Jul 14 2023Wade was outrighted off Oakland's 40-man roster on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He is essentially being replaced by Zack Gelof, who is getting the call from Triple-A Las Vegas along with Tyler Soderstrom on Friday. Wade hit .255 with zero home runs and four steals in 55 plate appearances and was worth 0.2 fWAR in his part-time role that included seeing time at four different positions.
Jul 5 2023Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Wade will cede shortstop duties to the righty-hitting Nick Allen for the second game in a row with Detroit bringing another southpaw (Eduardo Rodriguez) to the bump. Since receiving a call-up from Triple-A Las Vegas on June 17, Wade appears to have settled in as Oakland's primary shortstop versus right-handed pitching. He's slashing .393/.393/.500 in 28 at-bats since his call-up, but Wade hasn't provided any home runs or stolen bases during that stretch.
Jun 28 2023Wade went 1-for-3 with a triple and a run in a win over the Yankees on Tuesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade laced his first three-bagger at the big-league level since 2021 in the third inning and subsequently crossed the plate with the Athletics' first run of the game on Esteury Ruiz's single. The 28-year-old has now hit safely in five of the last six games, and with Kevin Smith going in for a second opinion on the back injury that he currently has no return timetable for, Wade's roster spot appears secure for the time being.
Jun 25 2023Wade went 2-for-4 with an RBI single in a loss to the Blue Jays on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade hit safely for the third time in his last four starts while producing his first multi-hit effort and RBI of the season at the big-league level. The 28-year-old has been a positive addition offensively since his June 17 call-up, hitting .333 (5-for-15) with a double, Saturday's RBI and one run. With Kevin Smith on the injured list due to a back strain that could potentially keep him out beyond 10 days, Wade, who can play second base, third base and across the outfield, is making an early case to potentially hold on to a roster spot even when he returns.
Jun 22 2023Wade went 1-for-2 with a double and a run in a loss to the Guardians on Wednesday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Making his second straight start at shortstop, Wade hit safely for the second consecutive game while collecting his first extra-base hit in 13 big-league appearances this season. The well-traveled veteran is slated to remain with the Athletics through Kevin Smith's (back) stint on the injured list, at minimum.
Jun 17 2023Wade's contract was selected by Oakland on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade is up to replace Kevin Smith, who landed on the injured list with a strained back. Wade had appeared in 10 MLB games this season, stealing four bases despite striking out in eight of his 16 plate appearances. A career .211/.290/.293 across parts of seven seasons, he's unlikely to carve out a regular role even on a team like the Athletics.
Apr 29 2023Wade was designated for assignment by the Athletics on Saturday, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Ramon Laureano (groin) has been activated from the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move. Wade, 28, was just 1-for-13 (.077) with eight strikeouts in 10 games this season with Oakland.
Jul 14 2022Wade was traded from the Angels to the Yankees on Thursday in exchange for a player to be named later, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was outrighted to Triple-A Salt Lake on Friday after he was designated for assignment and cleared waivers, but he will now return to the Yankees, the team he spent the first five years of his career with. The 27-year-old will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will be a likely candidate for a call-up at some point this summer. Wade posted a .218 average with one homer, eight RBI, 22 runs and eight stolen bases over 147 at-bats in 67 games with the Angels this season.
Jul 3 2022Wade was designated for assignment by the Angels on Sunday, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Angels turned Wade's roster spot over to Michael Stefanic, who is reportedly starting at second base Sunday. Wade has struggled to a .218/.272/.272 line in the big leagues this season, and his efficiency on the basepaths (8-for-13) has taken a hit. The 27-year-old will now be subjected to waivers.
Jun 26 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade reached base in all three of his plate appearances and scored a run in Saturday's 5-3 loss, but he appears to be limited to a part-time role even with Anthony Rendon (wrist) having undergone season-ending surgery. With Matt Duffy serving as Rendon's primary replacement at third base, Andrew Velazquez and Luis Rengifo appear to have settled in as the Angels' primary options in the middle infield, leaving Wade without a path to steady playing time. Wade will be on the bench Sunday for the fourth time in six contests.
Jun 19 2022Wade will start at third base and bat ninth in Sunday's series finale with the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will fill in at the hot corner for Matt Duffy in Sunday's series finale, but the former looks like he may pose the biggest threat to shortstop Andrew Velazquez's playing time in the wake of Anthony Rendon's season-ending wrist injury. Velazquez had been on the bench for two of the Angels' last four games, with Wade drawing the start at shortstop in those other two contests.
Jun 18 2022Wade is not in the lineup for Game 2 of Saturday's nightcap against the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade goes to the bench after going 0-for-4 with a run and a strikeout in the day game. Luis Rengifo will start at second base and bat fifth.
Jun 17 2022Wade will sit Friday against Seattle, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade may be needed more frequently for the rest of the season with Anthony Rendon done for the year due to wrist surgery, but he won't start here against lefty Robbie Ray. Luis Rengifo and Andrew Velazquez will handle the middle infield spots.
Jun 16 2022Wade went 2-for-4 with a stolen base in Thursday's 4-1 win over the Mariners. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade notched a steal in the ninth inning. It's been a quiet month for the utility man, as he's 6-for-31 (.194) across 12 contests. He's also gone 2-for-4 in stolen base attempts in June. Overall, the speedy 27-year-old is batting .220/.267/.283 with a home run, seven steals, eight RBI and 16 runs scored through 140 plate appearances.
Jun 6 2022Wade went 0-for-4 with a run, an RBI and a stolen base in Sunday's loss to Philadelphia. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite going hitless in four at-bats, Wade was fairly productive. He knocked in a run on a fielder's choice groundout in the fourth inning, reached on another fielder's choice in the ninth and subsequently stole second base before coming around to score. The theft was Wade's sixth of the campaign, but he was caught trying to steal for the fourth time this season earlier in Sunday's contest. Wade's very limited fantasy value is tied almost entirely to steals, as he's slashing .208/.263/.274 with only one homer on the season and doesn't have an everyday spot in the lineup.
Jun 2 2022Wade isn't starting the first game of Thursday's doubleheader against the Yankees, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has started against just four left-handed pitchers this year, and he'll get a breather with southpaw Nestor Cortes on the mound for the Yankees in Thursday's matinee. Matt Duffy is starting at the hot corner and batting fourth.
Jun 1 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Yankees, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: For the second game in a row, the Angels will match up with a lefty starting pitcher (Nestor Cortes), so the lefty-hitting Wade will again head to the bench. While Anthony Rendon (wrist) is on the injured list, Wade could occupy the large side of a platoon at third base with the righty-hitting Matt Duffy, who gets the start Wednesday.
May 31 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Yankees, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With southpaw Jordan Montgomery on the hill, the lefty-hitting Wade will take a seat while the righty-hitting Matt Duffy picks up the start at third base. Andrew Velazquez and Luis Rengifo appear to have solidified themselves as the Angels' starters at the two middle-infield spots against both left- and right-handed pitching, so Wade may have to settle for platoon work at the hot corner with Duffy until Anthony Rendon (wrist) comes off the injured list.
May 29 2022Wade went 0-for-2 with two walks, a stolen base and two runs scored in Sunday's 11-10 loss to the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade is now 5-for-8 in stolen base attempts this season after swiping a bag in the fourth inning before scoring on a Taylor Ward homer. The 27-year-old Wade has added a .229/.288/.302 slash line with one home run, seven RBI, 14 runs scored and four doubles through 109 plate appearances. He'll likely absorb some of the playing time at third base, primarily against right-handed pitchers, while Anthony Rendon (wrist) is on the injured list.
May 28 2022Wade is not in the lineup for Saturday's matchup with the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will take a seat after going 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Friday's loss to the Blue Jays. Luis Rengifo will start at second base and bat leadoff in Saturday's contest.
May 26 2022Wade isn't starting Thursday against the Blue Jays, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade drew starts in the last four games and went 2-for-12 with a run, an RBI, a stolen base and two strikeouts. Luis Rengifo will start at second base and lead off Thursday.
May 25 2022Wade went 1-for-4 with an RBI and a stolen base in Tuesday's 5-3 victory against Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade knocked in a run with a fourth-inning bunt single, and he subsequently stole second base. The theft was his first since May 4, a stretch of 16 games. He didn't get on base much during that span, going 6-for-37 with two walks and 11 strikeouts.
May 20 2022Wade isn't starting Friday against the Athletics, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although right-hander Paul Blackburn is starting Friday, Wade will retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Luis Rengifo will take over at the keystone and bat seventh.
May 17 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Rangers, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade started the past five games and will receive Tuesday off with southpaw Taylor Hearn pitching for Texas. Luis Rengifo will return from and elbow injury and start in his place at the keystone.
May 11 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Wade will duck out of the starting nine while southpaw Shane McClanahan takes the bump for Tampa Bay in the series finale. Luis Rengifo will pick up the start at the keystone and could continue to occupy the short side of a platoon with Wade for the foreseeable future.
May 10 2022Wade is not in the lineup for Tuesday's game against Tampa Bay, Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 27-year-old started three of the past four games but will take a seat with Luis Rengifo starting at the keystone. Despite not starting Tuesday, Wade should continue to see plenty of action at second base with David Fletcher (hip) out for the foreseeable future.
May 8 2022Wade will start at second base and bat eighth in Sunday's game against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade had moved into more of a part-time role after David Fletcher was reinstated from the injured list April 29, but Fletcher stayed healthy for just over a week before moving back to the IL on Sunday with a left hip strain. Fletcher will meet with a specialist in the coming days and could be headed for surgery, so the lefty-hitting Wade looks like he'll be in line to reclaim at least a large-side platoon role at second base. Over his 62 plate appearances on the season, Wade has delivered most of his fantasy value in the form of a .278 average and three stolen bases.
May 7 2022Wade will sit Saturday against the Nationals, Rhett Bollinger of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has started just twice against lefties this season but had started against 16 of 20 righties prior to Saturday's contest. He'll hit the bench against right-hander Josiah Gray, with David Fletcher and Andrew Velasquez starting at second base and shortstop.
May 3 2022Wade is on the bench for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The lefty-hitting Wade will take a seat against a right-hander (Michael Wacha), which is yet another indication that he'll be the odd man out of the Angels' middle infield more often than not following David Fletcher's recent return from the injured list. Since Fletcher was activated Friday, he's started in four of the Halos' five games, while Andrew Velasquez and Wade have started three and two times, respectively.
May 1 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With David Fletcher making his return from the injured list Friday, Wade and Andrew Velazquez look as though they'll be forced to compete for the remaining spot in the middle infield in the Angels' everyday lineup. Wade will sit for the second time in the three games since Fletcher's return, while Velazquez stays in the lineup at shortstop.
Apr 26 2022Wade will sit Tuesday against the Guardians, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade hits the bench for the sixth time in the season's first 18 games, though his absence here against Triston McKenzie marks just the second time he's sat against a right-hander. Matt Duffy will start at second base.
Apr 22 2022Wade is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will once again head to the bench with a lefty, Bruce Zimmermann, on the mound for Baltimore. Jack Mayfield will start in his place at the keystone.
Apr 19 2022Wade will be on the bench for Tuesday's game against Houston, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade's off day comes against lefty Framber Valdez, but it doesn't appear as though he's in a true platoon role. He's started against two of the five southpaws the Angels have faced this season. Jack Mayfield will be Tuesday's second baseman.
Apr 18 2022Wade went 2-for-3 with a walk, a run, a stolen base and an RBI in Sunday's win over Texas. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade reached base three times in the contest after collecting a pair of hits Saturday. He scored a run following a walk and a stolen base in the third inning and knocked in Andrew Velazquez with a single in the sixth. Wade is off to a strong start with the Angels, slashing .364/.391/.409 with two runs, two RBI and two steals over 24 plate appearances.
Apr 15 2022Wade isn't starting Friday's game against the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade went 1-for-2 with a double in Thursday's loss to Texas, and he'll retreat to the bench for the second time in the last three games. Jack Mayfield will start at second base and bat seventh.
Apr 13 2022Wade stole a base and scored as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 4-3 win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade didn't start for the Angels in the contest, but he made a big impact on the outcome as a pinch runner. The speedster stole second base with one out in the ninth inning, move to third on a wild pitch and scored the winning run on Max Stassi's fielder's choice grounder. Wade racked up a career-best 17 steals last season, giving him some value in fantasy despite his lack of power and career .213 batting average.
Apr 12 2022Wade is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Marlins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will head to the bench for the first time since Opening Day with southpaw Jesus Luzardo pitching for Miami. Jack Mayfield will start at the keystone Tuesday while Matt Duffy shifts to first base.
Apr 7 2022Wade isn't starting Thursday's game against the Astros, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade is in line to serve as the Angels' primary second baseman in 2022, but he'll be out of the lineup on Opening Day with left-hander Framer Valdez starting for Houston. Matt Duffy will start at the keystone and bat fourth.
Apr 2 2022Wade will handle the large side of a platoon at second base this season, starting against righties while Matt Duffy and Jack Mayfield start against lefties, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has done very little at the plate in parts of five big-league seasons, hitting .212/.298/.307 with six homers and a 1.9 percent barrel rate in 491 plate appearances. He's somewhat interesting in the roto game given his speed, as he's stolen 30 bases in his career, including 17 in 145 plate appearances last season. He'll have to outperform his career numbers to keep earning regular at-bats, but he'll be one of the best cheap sources of speed available if he's able to do that.
Mar 22 2022Wade and the Angels agreed to terms on a one-year, $825,000 contract Tuesday, avoiding arbitration, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade is in the mix to be the Angels' Opening Day shortstop. He's the most interesting fantasy option among the contestants thanks to his speed, as he stole 17 bases in just 145 plate appearances last season, but he doesn't do much with his bat. it took a .378 BABIP just to get him to a modest .268/.354/.323 slash line last season.
Mar 21 2022Wade is one of at least five players competing to be the Angels' Opening Day shortstop, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: David Fletcher is set to open the season as the starter at second base, but his middle-infield partner remains in question. The Angels neglected to sign a big-name shortstop in the offseason, so it appears that a spring position battle between Wade, Matt Duffy, Luis Rengifo, Jack Mayfield and Andrew Velazquez will determine the team's regular starter at the position. Los Angeles acquired Wade from the Yankees in November after he slashed .268/.354/.323 with 31 runs and 17 stolen bases last season.
Nov 22 2021Wade was traded from the Yankees to the Angels in exchange for a player to be named later or cash considerations Monday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade's defensive versatility has helped him carve out a role as a bench player, but he isn't a particularly exciting one. Over the last three seasons, he's hit .233/.328/.330 with five homers and 28 steals in 358 trips to the plate. He did hit a career-best .268 last season, but that came with a .194 xBA and a miniscule 1.1 percent barrel rate, so it's tough to argue his offensive profile has genuinely changed. His speed provides a pathway to deep-league relevance should he stumble into unexpected playing time, but he might hit poorly enough to offset most of what he provides with his legs even in that case.
Nov 19 2021Wade was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He was out of minor-league options and the Yankees had a 40-man roster crunch. A rebuilding club may take a chance on Wade due to his .328 OBP over the last three seasons and ability to play multiple infield spots.
Sep 23 2021Wade stole a pair of bases as a pinch runner in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the score tied 3-3 in the seventh inning, Wade entered the contest as a pinch runner for Kyle Higashioka. The speedster stole second base as Brett Gardner struck out and subsequently swiped third, but the Yankees were unable to bring him home. Wade leads the team with 17 thefts on the campaign, but he rarely starts and is therefore difficult to roster in fantasy, even for managers chasing steals.
Sep 14 2021Wade went 0-for-1 with a walk, a run and a stolen base in Monday's victory over the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was lifted for a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, but he made an impact on the box score before his departure. The speedster led off the sixth frame with a walk, stole second and came around to score after advancing on consecutive fly balls. Wade's theft was his team-leading 14th of the season but first since Aug. 26.
Aug 27 2021Wade stole a base and scored as a pinch runner in Thursday's win over Oakland. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: With the score tied 6-6 in the ninth inning, Anthony Rizzo drew a walk and was replaced on the basepaths by Wade, who proceeded to steal second and move over to third on a throwing error. Aaron Judge then singled to right field to plate the game-winning run. Wade has swiped six bags in his past 12 games, but his playing time figures to be sporadic moving forward with Gio Urshela back in action and Gleyber Torres (thumb) nearing a rehab assignment.
Aug 20 2021Wade is not starting Friday agains the Twins. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade will retreat to the bench for the second time in three games after walking and scoring during Thursday's win. Rougned Odor draws the start at third base with Andrew Velazquez set to man shortstop Friday.
Aug 18 2021Wade isn't starting Wednesday against the Red Sox, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade started both games in Tuesday's doubleheader and went 3-for-5 with a walk. Andrew Velazquez will draw the start at shortstop and bat ninth.
Aug 16 2021Wade isn't in the lineup for Monday's game against the Angels. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade had started each of the last four games, but he went 0-for-5 with three strikeouts in Sunday's win over the White Sox. Andrew Velazquez will take over at shortstop and bat ninth.
Aug 13 2021Wade went 2-for-4 with a run and a stolen base Thursday in a loss to the White Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has taken advantage of Gleyber Torres' (thumb) recent absence, picking up starts in three of four games since Torres was moved to the 10-day injured list. In those three contests, Wade has gone 6-for-10 with a pair of walks and four steals. Fantasy managers in need of a short-term injection of thefts may want to take a glance at Wade, who could continue to see a healthy amount of playing time with both Torres and Gio Urshela (hamstring) expected to be out at least another week.
Aug 11 2021Wade went 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, a walk, two stolen bases and a run scored in Wednesday's 5-2 win over Kansas City. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old made a start in left field and reached base in three of his four plate appearances. While a pair of steals is only mildly noteworthy for the speedy Wade, Wednesday was the first game all season he's logged multiple extra-base hits. Mainly as an off-the-bench utility man, Wade has a .262/.340/.333 slash line with 10 thefts, four RBI, 22 runs scored, four doubles and a triple through 94 plate appearances. He is in line for an uptick in playing time while Gleyber Torres (thumb) and Gio Urshela (hamstring) are missing from the Yankees' infield.
Aug 10 2021Wade went 2-for-3 with three runs, a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 8-6 victory versus the Royals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade got the start at third base and was productive out of the eight spot, reaching base three times and scoring three of the team's eight runs. He also nabbed his eighth steal of the season. Wade will likely see more playing time for as long as Gleyber Torres (thumb) remains on the injured list. His career .202 batting average and almost non-existent power make him difficult to roster in fantasy leagues, but Wade could be a decent source of steals for managers desperate for help in that category.
Aug 1 2021Wade went 0-for-1 with a walk and a stolen base in Sunday's 3-1 win over Miami. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old started the game at third base and batted eighth, and he played seven innings before DJ LeMahieu pinch hit for him in the eighth. Wade continues to fill a utility role for the Yankees. He's posted seven steals in 10 attempts, along with two RBI and 17 runs scored through 83 plate appearances.
Jul 25 2021Wade stole a base as a pinch runner for Giancarlo Stanton in Sunday's 5-4 loss to the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade notched his sixth steal in eight chances with two outs in the ninth inning of Sunday's contest, but Rougned Odor popped out to end the Yankees' hope of tying the game. The 26-year-old Wade continues to see mostly a bench role, as he has two RBI, 17 runs scored, a triple and a double in just 71 plate appearances this year.
Jul 22 2021Wade will start at third base and bat ninth Thursday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has indirectly benefited from Chris Gittens nursing a sore Achilles' tendon. With the injury relegating Gittens to a bench role for the third game in a row, DJ LeMahieu will shift over to first base, clearing the way for Wade to stick in the lineup at the hot corner. While starting the past two contests, Wade has gone hitless with a walk and a stolen base across seven plate appearances.
Jul 8 2021Wade was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 26-year-old was demoted to Triple-A last weekend but will rejoin the big-league club with Michael King (finger) landing on the injured list. Wade will be a utility option in the infield, though he's unlikely to see much action with the rest of the infield currently healthy.
Jul 4 2021Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade had been with the major-league club for over two months, but he saw sporadic playing time and had started in just two games since May 31. He's hit .224 with a triple, 14 runs, four stolen bases and two RBI in the big leagues this year. The 26-year-old could see more at-bats in the minors, while left-hander Wandy Peralta will remain on the active roster after he served as the 27th man for Sunday's twin bill against the Mets.
Jun 16 2021Wade stole second base and scored as a pinch runner in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was summoned for his speed in the eighth inning of a tie game. He pinch ran for Miguel Andujar and wasted little time stealing second, then came around to score the decisive run on Clint Frazier's double. In addition to his three thefts on the season, Wade is slashing .250/.302/.300 with 10 runs and two RBI.
May 19 2021Wade went 1-for-2 with an RBI triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 2-0 win over the Rangers. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade was called upon to enter the game in the third inning after Ryan LaMarre had to be taken out with an apparent right hamstring injury. The 26-year-old Wade came through in the sixth with an RBI triple and a sharply hit ball that rolled all the way to the wall in right-center field. He later would trot home to put the Yankees up 2-0 on a sac fly to left. The RBI was his first of the season and he could see some increased opportunities coming up with the outfield decimated by injuries.
May 16 2021Wade went 3-for-4 with a run scored in Saturday's 8-2 win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Getting another start at shortstop in place of Gleyber Torres (COVID-19) and batting ninth, Wade doubled his hit total with his first multi-hit performance of the year. The utility infielder's .316 batting average looks good and he has scored five runs in only 21 plate appearances, but he's still looking for his first homer -- or even just his first RBI -- of the season and is 0-for-2 on stolen base attempts, including a caught stealing Saturday.
Apr 27 2021Wade was recalled prior to Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: He will take the place of Mike Tauchman, who was traded to the Giants, on the Yankees' bench. Wade has gone 1-for-3 while appearing in six games this season.
Apr 10 2021Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Saturday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade won a spot on the Opening Day roster and went 1-for-3 with two runs and a strikeout to begin the season. He'll be removed from the active roster to make room for Rougned Odor, who was activated in a corresponding move. Wade will join the Yankees' taxi squad going forward, while Gio Urshela will now serve as the backup shortstop behind Gleyber Torres.
Mar 29 2021Wade's spot on the Opening Day roster was confirmed by general manager Brian Cashman on Monday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade doesn't have a path to regular playing time, but his defensive versatility (he's appeared everywhere other than pitcher, catcher and first base) makes him a fine fit for the end of the bench. The Yankees have plenty of injury-prone players ahead of him, which opens up multiple avenues for at-bats, though the career .190/.274/.301 hitter wouldn't have much fantasy appeal even as an everyday starter.
Mar 27 2021Wade is likely to open the season with a big-league bench spot, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade has been battling for a roster spot throughout spring training but hasn't exactly impressed, hitting .194 with 14 strikeouts in 36 at-bats. However, he has notched two stolen bases, and his speed and versatility are likely the two factors that most played into the Yankees' decision to keep him with the big club. While Wade's place on the Opening Day roster hasn't yet been confirmed, Hoch notes that the release of Derek Dietrich and Robinson Chirinos (wrist) seems to make the decision apparent.
Mar 18 2021Wade is among a handful of Yankees battling for the final bench spots on the team's Opening Day roster, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The Yankees are expected to carry four non-pitcher reserves to start the campaign, with Kyle Higashioka (side) and Brett Gardner locks to take up two of the spots. That leaves two remaining roster spots and at least five players -- including Wade, Derek Dietrich, Jay Bruce, Mike Ford and Mike Tauchman -- with a realistic shot of breaking camp with the club. Wade's versatility and speed could be a factor in helping him make the cut, but he hasn't helped his cause with a .143/.136/.238 slash line and 0:10 BB:K this spring.
Sep 27 2020Wade went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a victory over Miami on Saturday. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade got the Yankees on the board in the fifth inning with a two-run shot to right field. The long ball -- the first for the Yankees since Sept. 20 -- appeared to wake up New York's bats as both Aaron Hicks and Luke Voit would go on to homer later in the game. The contribution was a rare highlight in a difficult season for Wade in which he is slashing a tepid .176/.297/.318.
Sep 26 2020Wade entered the game in the 10th inning as a pinch runner Friday against the Marlins and stole a base. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade came in to run for Gio Urshela to start the 10th inning. The 25-year-old stole third base but did not score after the Yankees grounded into a game-ending double play. Wade is hitting .171/.296/.280 on the season but is second on the team with four stolen bases and could be used in more late-game scenarios as the Yankees prepare for the playoffs.
Sep 14 2020Wade went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Orioles. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade slotted into the ninth spot in the lineup and produced the Yankees' only long ball of the contest, taking John Means deep in the third inning. The homer was a rare highlight for Wade in September -- he is slashing a meek .129 with 10 strikeouts in 31 at-bats this month.
Aug 31 2020Wade went 2-for-6 with a solo home run, a walk and an additional run across Sunday's doubleheader against the Mets. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade made important contributions in both contests. In Game 1, he drew a walk and came around to score as part of an improbable seventh inning in which the Yankees erased a five-run deficit. In Game 2, the utilityman got the team on the board with a third-inning solo shot off Seth Lugo. The big day could be a much-needed boost for Wade, who came in having gone 0-for-7 over his last five games.
Aug 24 2020Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that Wade will serve as the Yankees' primary shortstop when the team resumes play Tuesday in Atlanta, Erik Boland of Newsday reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Both DJ LeMahieu (thumb) and Gleyber Torres (hamstring) were placed on the injured list last week, leaving the team without its everyday starters in the middle infield. After having their weekend series with the Mets postponed due to COVID-19-related concerns, the Yankees will now have to break in new starters at shortstop and second base in Wade and Estrada, respectively. Expect both players to bat near the bottom of the order and provide limited pop, though Wade could be a sneaky source of speed in AL-only or deeper mixed leagues. He's gone 9-for-10 on stolen-base attempts over 129 career MLB games.
Aug 19 2020Wade isn't in the lineup Wednesday against the Rays. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Although he could see an uptick in playing time in the near future with DJ LeMahieu (thumb) likely sidelined for 2-to-3 weeks, he'll take a seat Wednesday. Thairo Estrada will start at second base, batting ninth.
Aug 16 2020Wade will start at second base and bat ninth Sunday against the Red Sox. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade is in the lineup for the fourth time this season, but his opportunities could be on the upswing after everyday second baseman DJ LeMahieu (thumb) was moved to the 10-day injured list Sunday. Unless manager Aaron Boone elects to push everyday third baseman Gio Urshela to shortstop and everyday shortstop Gleyber Torres to second base while LeMahieu is out, the lefty-hitting Wade should at least be in good position to fill the large side of a platoon.
Jul 23 2020Wade is starting at second base and batting ninth Thursday against the Nationals. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Though DJ LeMahieu was activated from the injured list and placed on the 30-man roster Thursday, he apparently needs more time to before he's ready to start. As a result, Wade is filling in as the Yankees' Opening Day second baseman. LeMahieu isn't likely to be on the bench for an extended period of time, so Wade's temporary starting role isn't likely to change his season-long projections.
Jul 10 2020Wade is the most likely candidate to start at second base if DJ LeMahieu (illness) is not ready to play by Opening Day, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Manager Aaron Boone recently praised Wade's value as a defender and baserunner, and those skills should be enough to keep him ahead of Thairo Estrada on the depth chart should LeMahieu need extra time to prepare after testing positive for COVID-19 early in summer camp. When LeMahieu returns, Wade figures to be the top backup at both second base and shortstop, so he could see a fair amount of playing time this season.
Jun 8 2020Wade may be an "obvious addition" to the Yankees' roster due to the team's need for a backup shortstop, Brendan Kuty of NJ Advance Media reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade struggled in Grapefruit League action before play was suspended -- he slashed a meek .133/.161/.333 with 11 strikeouts -- but survived each round of roster cuts. That may be a telling sign about the Yankees' preference to keep the 29-year-old in the big leagues to back up Gleyber Torres at shortstop rather than expect a starter at another position -- such as Gio Urshela -- to fill in when needed. Wade's speed could also be an asset off the bench; he went 7-for-7 in stolen base attempts last season and ranks in the 93rd percentile among major leaguers in sprint speed.
Mar 28 2020Wade is among a group of Yankees vying for a reserve role on the Opening Day roster, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade didn't do much to help his case for a roster spot this spring as he slashed .133/.161/.333 with a 1:11 BB:K. He did hit a pair of home runs and steal two bases, however, and the Yankees have thus far kept him on the big-league roster even as some of his peers -- including fellow utilityman Thairo Estrada -- have been sent to the minors. Wade's bid to open the season in the majors is nonetheless threatened by the delay to the start of the regular season; the extra time may allow injured hitters such as Giancarlo Stanton (calf) and Aaron Judge (ribs) to heal in time for Opening Day, whittling down available roster spots.
Oct 12 2019Wade is not on the Yankees' ALCS roster. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Despite the Astros' pitching staff comprised entirely of right-handers, Wade was left off the roster with the additions of Aaron Hicks and CC Sabathia. The 24-year-old didn't appear in any of the team's ALDS games.
Sep 21 2019Wade went 1-for-2 with a two-run homer in Friday's loss to Toronto. ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Wade took advantage of his first start since Sunday by launching a 400-foot shot in the seventh inning. The 24-year-old is enjoying a strong September despite limited playing time, hitting .364 with three extra-base hits and five RBI in 22 at-bats.
Aug 18 2019The Yankees recalled Wade from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Sunday's game against the Indians.
Jul 28 2019The Yankees recalled Wade from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

May 7 2019Wade was optioned to Triple-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre<\/a> following Tuesday's win over the Mariners.Subscribe now<\/a> to instantly reveal our take on this news.
Jul 25 2018Wade was sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.In 23 games with the big club this season, Wade put together an uninspiring .185/.228/.315 slash line with one homer and five RBI. He'll head to the minor leagues following the activation of Gleyber Torres (hip) from the disabled list.
Jul 11 2018Wade went 3-for-5 with a solo home run and a strikeout in Wednesday's win over the Orioles.The homer was the first of his career, and Wade also added a single and a double to finish a triple shy of the cycle. Wade could continue to see the occasional start with Gleyber Torres (hip) likely out through the All-Star break, but Neil Walker remains in line to take over the bulk of the playing time at the keystone in his stead.
Apr 13 2018Wade is not in the starting nine against Detroit on Friday, Pete Caldera of the Bergen Record reports.Wade just hasn't been able to find it at the plate these first couple weeks, as he's now just 3-for-21 with a pair of doubles and 11 strikeouts during his first 10 appearances. Ronald Torreyes will take his spot at the keystone for Friday's affair, which could begin an ongoing trend barring some improvement on Wade's part.
Apr 11 2018Wade (illness) will bat eighth and man the keystone Wednesday against Boston.Wade missed a couple games due to illness but was able to come in as a defensive replacement during Tuesday's loss to the Red Sox. Over the course of eight appearances this season, Wade has gone 3-for-22 with two doubles and three RBI.
Apr 8 2018Wade (illness) is out of the lineup Sunday against the Orioles, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.Wade is apparently still recovering from a bout with the flu after coming down ill during the Yankees' 5-2 loss Friday in the series opener. His absence for a second straight game will allow Neil Walker to move over to the keystone, opening up a start for Tyler Austin at first base.
Apr 7 2018Wade (illness) is out of the lineup against Baltimore on Saturday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.Wade was removed from Friday's extra-inning affair due to flu-like symptoms and he will remain out of the lineup with the quick turnaround for Saturday's matinee start. Ronald Torreyes will get the nod at the keystone and bat ninth.
Apr 6 2018Wade left Friday's 14-inning loss to the Orioles with a fever and flu-like symptoms, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.The 23-year-old went 0-for-3 before exiting the game in the ninth inning, with Tyler Austin replacing him in the lineup and taking over first base, moving Neil Walker to second. Wade should be considered day-to-day but could be looking at a multi-game absence if the flu-like symptoms persist.
Apr 4 2018Wade is not in the lineup against Tampa Bay on Wednesday.Wade will occupy a spot on the bench after starting the past four games at second base. With left-hander Blake Snell on the mound, manager Aaron Boone decided to place Ronald Torreyes into the starting nine. Through five games, Wade has gone 2-for-15 with a double and three RBI.
Mar 31 2018Wade could see more time in the outfield following injuries to Aaron Hicks (ribs) and Billy McKinney (shoulder), Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.The 23-year-old started Friday and Saturday at second base but could find himself being used as a fly-catcher more often following the Bronx Bombers' sudden rash of injuries. Wade spread six appearances over three outfield spots at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre during 2017, and he was already going to be considered a useful utility player as long as he stayed up with the big club. A clearer path to starting work -- particularly against right-handed hurlers -- could make the lefty swinger useful to more fantasy players in deep mixed leagues, especially if he can replicate some of the speed that helped him steal 26 bases in 31 attempts for Scranton last year. However, Miguel Andujar's arrival with the big-league club could instead relegate Wade to fourth-outfielder duty, which might make it harder to trust him for more than a pair of starts per week.
Mar 30 2018Wade went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Friday's 4-2 win over the Blue Jays.Getting the start at second base and hitting ninth, Wade ripped a fastball into the gap in right-center with the bases loaded in the sixth inning to drive in his first runs of the season. The 23-year-old is effectively on the strong side of a platoon with Tyler Austin due to Greg Bird's ankle surgery -- with Neil Walker flipping between first and second base as needed -- and Wade could have some surprising fantasy value in that role after slashing .310/.382/.460 with seven homers and 26 steals in 85 games for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season.
Mar 28 2018Wade will be out of the lineup for Opening Day against the Blue Jays on Thursday.Wade will give way to Neil Walker at the keystone with southpaw J.A. Happ set to toe the rubber for Toronto. With Greg Bird (foot) out for the next two months, manager Aaron Boone will likely place Walker at second and Tyler Austin at first when the Yankees face left-handers. Expect to see Wade in Friday's lineup with Aaron Sanchez taking the hill for the Blue Jays.
Mar 20 2018According to manager Aaron Boone, Wade has made the major-league team, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic New York reports.The 23-year-old has played well this spring, exhibiting good versatility on the field and performing well at the plate (.286 batting average, 9:8 K:BB). Wade could jockey for playing time at second base with Neil Walker to start the season, though he could also carve out a role as a reserve utility man due to his positional versatility. Even with this development, he very well could be supplanted on the depth chart at second base by Gleyber Torres later in the season.
Mar 16 2018Manager Aaron Boone suggested that Wade almost certainly will break camp with the big-league club, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.Better yet, the Yankees skipper alluded that Wade might even split the starting gig at second base with Neil Walker to start the season. Wade has hit well this spring, batting .310 with five runs scored and a pair of RBI. Gleyber Torres is still the team's future at second base, but the 23-year-old Wade is making a strong case to spend more time in the Bronx in 2018, whether it's as a starter at second base or as a utility player off the bench.
Mar 12 2018Wade is in the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.Wade suffered a minor wrist injury in Saturday's game against the Mets while diving for a ball. The injury won't affect Wade's readiness for Opening Day, though Monday's signing of Neil Walker likely rules him out of the competition for a starting spot. He's now competing for a bench infielder role with Danny Espinosa, Ronald Torreyes and Jace Peterson, with Gleyber Torres likely beginning the season in the minors.
Mar 11 2018Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that Wade (wrist) checked out fine after being reevaluated Sunday and will enter New York's Grapefruit League lineup Monday against the Twins, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.With the left wrist injury that he sustained Saturday against the Mets proving to be no issue after he received treatment, Wade's bid for the Opening Day second-base role won't be derailed. In addition to Wade, Gleyber Torres and Danny Espinosa are also vying for the starting gig at the keystone. Ronald Torreyes and Jace Peterson were also thought to be candidates for the position entering the spring, but neither has received enough at-bats in Grapefruit Leagues games at this point to realistically remain in the competition.
Mar 10 2018Wade left Saturday's game against the Mets holding his left wrist in pain, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.The injury was suffered after Wade made a diving stop. The severity of the issue should become clear after further reports. Wade is battling for a role as the Yankee's starting second baseman or utility man this spring and has impressed so far.
Mar 10 2018Wade was removed from Saturday's game against the Mets with a wrist injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.Wade said that he just rolled onto his wrist and wanted to stay in the game. He'll ice his wrist but won't need any tests. He shouldn't miss much time and should be able to resume his fight for a roster spot soon.
Mar 9 2018Manager Aaron Boone said that Wade has surpassed his expectations this spring, Coley Harvey of ESPN reports.Boone remarked that the competition at second and third base remains "fluid" with Wade battling the likes of Ronald Torreyes, Gleyber Torres and Brandon Drury at his main position at the keystone. Throughout spring camp, Wade has gone 7-for-22 with a pair of RBI over 10 Cactus League appearances while catching Boone's eye with his "baserunning instincts and fielding (ability)." Even in the event that Wade were to lose out on a starting job, he could make the major-league team as a utility man, competing in a role similar to that of Torreyes last season. Continue to monitor this situation throughout the month.
Feb 14 2018Manager Aaron Boone said Wade is an option to start at either second or third base this season, MLB.com reports.Boone also mentioned top prospects Miguel Andujar and Gleyber Torres (elbow) as possible options, as well as a couple of veterans. While Wade excelled in 85 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season, hitting .310/.382/.460 with 26 stolen bases, he struggled to a .155/.222/.224 in his first taste of the majors (63 plate appearances). Given his versatility -- he logged at least one start at six different positions with the RailRiders in 2017 -- he may be more likely to open the season in a utility role, though an impressive spring could see him earn a spot in the team's starting nine.
Sep 4 2017Wade was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.With Aaron Hicks (oblique) joining Clint Frazier (oblique) on the 10-day disabled list Sunday, the Yankees were down to only three healthy outfielders, so the addition of Wade will offer the big club some additional depth. Since the Yankees are still fighting for a playoff spot, it's not expected that Wade will receive many regular starts in September, with most of his opportunities likely to come as a pinch hitter or defensive replacement off the bench. The rookie had previously appeared in 21 games this season during multiple stints with the Yankees, going 7-for-52 (.135 average) at the plate.
