You don’t need to release him. You just move one of our myriad of injured players to the 60 day DL
True, but what’s the actual benefit of keeping him? Toronto didn’t release him because they thought he would stay healthy and become even a shadow of his former self.
The Yankees got their money’s worth. They gambled and won (slightly). Time to move on and let some other team have a chance to put him on the IL...
But the Yanks don't really have any other infielders ready to call up to take that spot. With Andujar and Didi out for a while the Yanks will certainly need infield help and Tulo is not expected to be out very long. Whether he can stick at that point is another matter.
So, barring a trade for another infielder, there's really no urgent need to release him at this juncture.
As for the resident clown's comment, I find it rich considering you could fit his baseball knowledge in a thimble.
He’s got a minor injury. We have some detritus on our 40 man. We have moves to make. We also have enough versatility to deal with it with Gleyber being able to play 2B and SS and Lemahieu being able to play all 4 spots. Wade can play all the IF positions too with Estrada being more a SS and 2b kind of guy.
Thankfully, Hicks is resuming baseball activities. He will need a rehab stint, but might be an option by the latter part of the month. That’ll push Gardner to LF with Frazier and add some depth to our DH position, which is currently heavily dependent on Bird’s availability (and he’s made of glass).
Sevy scheduled for an MRI after saying his shoulder still doesn't feel right. Balls.
Let’s see what the kids can do. Montgomery may be more needed than initially thought. This sounds like they’re gonna need to go in there. I no longer expect him back this year
At least German and Cessa are stepping up, I know is a tiny sample size, it would be great if they can keep the pace the whole season ( a long shot, I know)
Looks like Severino will be out at least 6+ weeks with a lat strain, not related to the shoulder issue.
I have a bad feeling about this
That’s best case there. Let’s hope we can see him second half
