context_page_description: Lyle Stefan Overbay is an American former professional baseball first baseman. He played in Major League Baseball for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Toronto Blue Jays, Pittsburgh Pirates, Atlanta Braves, New York Yankees, and Milwaukee Brewers from 2001 through 2014.
context_section_description: On January 13, 2013, the Boston Red Sox announced that Overbay had been signed to a minor league contract with an invitation to major league spring training. He was released by the Red Sox on March 26, 2013, and signed by the New York Yankees to a 3-day minor league deal later that day. On March 31, the Yankees added Overbay to their 25-man active roster.
  On May 10, 2013, Overbay went 4-for-5 with 2 doubles, a 2-run home run, 5 runs batted in, and 2 runs scored in an 11–6 win over the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. On June 3, he made his first career start in right field. On June 26, the Yankees announced that Mark Teixeira was going to undergo season-ending wrist surgery, allowing Overbay to be the everyday first baseman for the remainder of the season. After the team signed Mark Reynolds on August 15, who had been released by the Cleveland Indians several days prior, Overbay and Reynolds platooned at first base for the remainder of the season, with the left-handed hitting Overbay usually starting against right-handed pitchers.
