Daniel Barbarisi of the Wall Street Journal reports that Alfonso Soriano has still yet to participate in activities this spring as he's battling a nasty bout of the flu.

The veteran outfielder will be re-evaluated on Monday. He still has plenty of time to get healthy and ready to go for the start of the regular season, so the illness shouldn't have any effect on his draft stock.

Alfonso Soriano indicated earlier this week that whether he continues his playing career next season will depend on his health.

"It depends on how I feel,'' Soriano said. "If I am healthy I will play [in 2015]. If not, I will let it go. It depends how I feel.'' Soriano will turn 39 in July, but he appears to have something left in the tank given that he's coming off back-to-back, 30-homer, 100-RBI seasons. He is in the final year of a nine-year, $136 million contract.

Alfonso Soriano was held out of workouts Thursday in Yankees camp due to a case of the flu.

Soriano should be fully recovered by early next week and will have no problems catching back up with his teammates. The 38-year-old is expected to be in a rotation this year between right field and designated hitter. He had 34 home runs and 101 RBI in 151 games last season between the Cubs and Yankees.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi wouldn't commit Thursday to using Alfonso Soriano as his everyday right fielder next season.

Brett Gardner will shift to left field following the Jacoby Ellsbury signing, meaning Soriano will also have to move. Girardi is likely simply keeping open the possibility that the Yanks will bring in someone else to play right field, resulting in Soriano being used in the DH spot. Soriano will play regularly somewhere after slugging 30 homers in 2013 for the second straight season.

Alfonso Soriano clubbed a solo homer in Saturday's win over the Giants.

Soriano now has 17 home runs and 50 RBI in 52 games with the Yankees. He's just the fifth player in MLB history with at least 50 RBI with two teams in the same season, joining Matt Holliday, Manny Ramirez, Carlos Beltran, and David Justice.

Alfonso Soriano (thumb) returned to the Yankees lineup on Sunday, going 1-for-2 with a walk in a losing effort against the Red Sox.

Soriano indicated that his thumb was still bothering him, but not to the point that would keep him out of the lineup. The Yankees certainly need his bat in the lineup, so expect Soriano to continue to man up and play through the pain over the final two weeks of the season.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi indicated that he expects Alfonso Soriano (thumb) to return to the starting lineup for Sunday night's game against the Red Sox.

Soriano was a late scratch just minutes before Saturday's game due to a sprained thumb. He attempted to hit in the batting cages early on Sunday, declaring himself good to go. The veteran outfielder is hitting .251/.299/.525 with 15 homers and 47 RBI in 46 games since rejoining the Bombers.

Alfonso Soriano has been scratched from the Yankees lineup on Saturday due to a sprained thumb.

The ailment isn't expected to require any type of extended absence, and Soriano is considered day-to-day.

Alfonso Soriano smacked a pair of homers and drove in three in Tuesday's comeback win over the Orioles.

Soriano's solo blast in the sixth cut the Orioles' lead to 4-2, and his two-run dinger in the eighth gave them the lead for good. The veteran outfielder has now gone deep 15 times in 43 games since putting back on the pinstripes, slugging .541 in the process.

Alfonso Soriano belted his 30th home run of the season, but it wasn't enough to lead the Yankees to victory over the Red Sox in a wild game on Friday.

Soriano finished the evening 1-for-5. His two-run shot off Felix Doubront got the scoring started in the first inning, and helped propel the Yankees to an early 8-3 lead that they were unable to hang on to. The 37-year-old has now smashed 13 homers and driven home 43 runs in just 39 games since returning to the Bronx Bombers.

Alfonso Soriano blasted a three-run homer and a solo shot in Tuesday's win over the Blue Jays.

The longballs were Soriano's 399th and 400th of his career. In 30 games for the Yankees this season, Soriano is already tied for the team lead for right-handed batters with 11 dingers. He's now gone deep 30 times this season, giving him a good shot at a second straight 30-homer campaign.

Alfonso Soriano went 1-for-3 with a game-winning two-run home run to give the Yankees a 4-2 win over the Blue Jays on Wednesday.

Soriano had gone hitless in 13 at-bats over his last three games after his torrid streak last week, but his eighth inning homer broke a 2-2 tie and put the Yankees ahead for good on Wednesday. The homer was his 26th of the season and his ninth in 95 at-bats since being dealt to the Bombers.

Alfonso Soriano's incredible week continued Friday against the Red Sox, as he finished 3-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored.

If that wasn't enough, Soriano also stole a base. The veteran has now driven in 18 runs over his last four games, which ties the MLB record. He appears rejuvenated in his return to pinstripes.

Alfonso Soriano went 4-for-5 with an RBI single and a run scored in Thursday's loss to the Angels.

He nearly had a second RBI when he singled in the bottom of the ninth, but Brett Gardner was held at third base for some reason. Soriano is 10-for-14 with four homers and 14 RBI over his last three games and is hitting .296 since returning to the Bronx.

Alfonso Soriano went 3-for-3 with two home runs and seven RBI in the Yankees' 11-3 win over the Angels on Wednesday.

Soriano's had a good 48 hours. The outfielder hit a grand slam in the first inning before adding a solo shot in the fifth, the second straight game in which he's homered twice. Over the last two games against the Angels, Soriano is 6-for-9 with four home runs, six runs scored and 13 RBI. Not a bad series for the 37-year-old.

Alfonso Soriano reached the 20-homer mark again Tuesday, belting a pair of homers while driving in six runs in a win over the Angels Tuesday.

Soriano launched a two-run blast in the fifth and a three-run jack in the seventh while also adding an RBI single. The 37-year-old has now reached the 20-homer mark for 12 straight seasons and has 394 for his career. He's hit .222/.246/.476 with five longballs over 16 games since returning to the team he started his career with.

Alfonso Soriano went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI in a loss to the White Sox on Wednesday.

The home run was Soriano's second since coming to the Yankees, raising his RBI total to six. In total, Soriano is batting .253/.286/.462 with 19 home runs and 57 RBI.

Alfonso Soriano had four hits, including a walkoff RBI single, in the Yankees' win over the Rays on Sunday.

It was a massive day for the former Yankee, who singled and scored in the first inning, hit a two-run shot in the third inning, singled to left field in the seventh inning and played the hero with a game-winning single to center field in the bottom of the ninth. He got a nice fantasy boost when he was traded into the power-friendly American League East and is a must-own again in standard mixed formats.

Alfonso Soriano went 0-for-5 with an RBI and a run scored Friday against the Rays in his first game since being traded to the Yankees.

Batting cleanup in his return to the Bronx, Soriano had plenty of chances to do damage, but he could only muster a run-scoring fielder's choice in the ninth inning. With the way Travis Hafner has faded, Soriano should get most of the at-bats out of the DH spot after Curtis Granderson comes of the disabled list. Playing in the hitter-friendly ballparks of the AL East, a big second half wouldn't be a surprise.

Yankees acquired OF Alfonso Soriano and cash considerations from the Cubs for RHP Corey Black.

Soriano is set to bat cleanup in his return to the Bronx on Friday against the Rays. The Cubs will reportedly pay roughly $17.7 million of the approximately $24.5 million remaining on his contract. The Yankees have struggled miserably from the right side of the plate, so Soriano should be an upgrade. The 37-year-old is batting .254/.287/.467 with 17 home runs and 51 RBI through 93 games this season and holds an .806 OPS against left-handed pitching. He'll likely play left field for now and shift over to the DH spot once Curtis Granderson comes off the disabled list.
