Description: New York outfielder Curtis Granderson was struck in the right forearm by a pitch from J.A. Happ on Sunday and had to leave the game. SOURCE: Jack Curry, YES Network | Insight: Granderson will undergo X-rays as a precaution. The Yankees are toying with the idea of swapping Granderson and Brett Gardner in left and center field. Granderson raised his homer total from 41 to 43 last season but saw a steep decline in RBIs (119 to 106) runs (136 to 102), steals (25 to 10), batting average (.262 to .232) and OPS (.916 to .811) while striking out 26 more times. | | |

There's no doubt Granderson's fantasy value would drop if he's traded -- his swing is tailor made for the short porch in Yankee Stadium and he's scored 238 runs the last two seasons as part of New York's high-powered offense. | | |
