When a player returns to play with the New York Yankees, another must absolutely be injured, it’s a classic in the Bronx.
And that is exactly what is happening now, and for the thousandth time in the last five years.
The Yankees could count on the return to play of receiver Jose Trevino for the game last night (Tuesday) against the Seattle Mariners. The Platinum Glove recipient had missed two weeks of activity due to a hamstring injury.
However, to add the weight in the balance that only the Bombardiers know the secret, they had to place the name of outfielder Harrsion Bader on the injured list with what manager Aaron Boone describes as a sprained hamstring. right leg.
His absence should be for a few weeks.
New York recalled Franchy Cordero to take Bader’s place in the roster. This personnel move is only temporary, as Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson are set to return to action.
Greg Allen started yesterday’s game in center field. Aaron Judge and Isiah Kiner-Falefa should also see action at the number eight position in the coming days.
After missing the first 30 games of the season, Bader had returned to the game in fine fashion as evidenced by his .267 batting average and .806 OPS in 26 games this season. He also helped stabilize the middle of the outfield, something Kiner-Falefa certainly can’t do.
So Yankees players will once again have to push the currency next man up at its limit.
