We had been waiting for it, and it has arrived Didi Gregorius,was put on the 10day DL ( disabled list), on Monday, (Heel bruise). Ddi collided with Blue Jays first baseman Kendrys Morales in the 1st inning on Sunday during the Yankees 10-2 win over the Blue Jays. Didi stayed in the game, but left in the 3rd inning, and went. to the hospital for an MRI.
This is a big blow for the Yankees, as Didi joins fellow stars Gary Sanchez, (groin), and Aaron Judge ( wrist) on the shelf. Didi has settled in this season for the Yankees, after a blistering April, and a forgettable May, he has come into his own these last few months. Didi is hitting.270,0with 22 yard balls, and 74 RBIs in 452 at-bats. Didi is the only shortstop on the Yankee roster, as the bomers have recalled Luke Voit ( first baseman ), to take Didi's spot on the roster. It will be interesting to see who the Yankees put as their temporary shortstop, while Didi serves his time on the DL.
Because of Judge going down, and Stanton battling a hamstring ( therefor unable to man the outfield) the Yankees have been using regular first baseman Neil Walker in right field. That will all change tonight, as when the Yankees visit the Miami Marlins, for an interleague ( that's the term for when the NL faces the AL) 2 game series, Giancarlo Stanton will be back in right field, as he makes his return to Miami for the first time since being traded to the Yankees (More on that later).
OTHER YANKEES NEWS:
The Yankees have been linked to adding another outfielder, either Andrew Mccutchen ( from the San Francisco Giants ) or Curtis Grandson ( from the Toronto Blue Jays).
OPINION:
Stinks, but next man up! we will have to do without him. sure I am upset with all these injuries, but hey, you just have to keep the faith in this Yankees team, stay positive, you never know!
