Harrison Bader was making his return to action last night (Tuesday) for the New York Yankees, having yet to play in 2023. This means the New York Yankees now have one less player on the roster. injured, a list which currently totals twelve injured.
That’s $153 million sleeping in the infirmary right now.
The Bronx Bombardiers are therefore in solution mode, those who are struggling to produce an offense with all these absentees and who are sorely lacking in depth on the mound.
One of them is of course that the injured return to the game, but it’s not that simple, starting with the situation of gunner Carlos Rodon.

Since bad news never comes alone, the Yankees also announced that reliever Lou Trivino will have to undergo Tommy John-type surgery and will therefore miss the rest of the current campaign. Another tile on the Yankees’ lead.
All this to say that injuries are in the process of greatly mortgaging the Bronx Bombers’ season, a season that promised to be promising.
If there are no changes to the infirmary, general manager Brian Cashman will have to pull a rabbit out of his hat well before the trade deadline.
- The Blue Jays’ 2022 top pick will make his pro debut.
- The Rays add depth.
