Prior to Friday’s game, the Yankees returned from rehab & reinstated 1B Luke Voit from the 10-day IL and placed INF Gio Urshela on the 10-day IL with a left groin strain (retro to 8/29).
INSIDE THE MOVE:
Gio Urshela has a minor groin injury. He left with tightness on Wednesday and said he was “OK”. Boone said as well it’s not too serious so this should be the minimum 10 days. Also it’s a good move because the Yankees are being cautious with Gio so he’s fully healthy for the playoffs while also not having to send anyone down like Mike Ford who is red-hot right now.
As for Voit, he is back for the first time since July 30th when he left with a sports hernia injury. No surgery was required so Voit is back and ready to play!
STATS TO KNOW:
The Yankees have now set a record for most players on the IL in a single season with 29 different players having reached the IL.
