Brett Gardner\u2019s struggles at the plate this season have only been a footnote to the Yankees\u2019 overall lack of offensive production from their center and left fielders.<\/p>\n

After going 2-for-33 in the past 15 game<\/a>s, Gardner is about to wrap up an underwhelming first half of the 2021 season. The 37-year-old had hit .189 this season with just three home runs and 11 RBIs entering Friday night. While Gardner is the longest-tenured member of the 2021 Yankees, it is app<\/a>arent he has not been able to contribute as he once did.<\/p>\n

Heading into the first of a three-game series<\/a> Friday night in Houston, Gardner hadn\u2019t registered a hit yet this month. Manager Aaron Boone, however, said he believes Gardner is heading in the right direction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI do feel like with Gardy, over the last month, he has started to gain a little bit of traction and getting going a little bit after struggling the first couple months of the year,\u201d Boone said Friday. \u201cHopefully, he\u2019s coming.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Yankees have been thin in the outfield since center fielder Aaron Hicks suffered a season-ending wrist injury, for which he underwent surgery at the end of May. Plus, Clint Frazier, who began the season as the starting left fielder, has been on the 10-day injured list to undergo further testing for his vertigo symptoms since July 2.<\/p>\n
