Torn wrist cartilage on slide that clinched the WC. Devastating news

Sucks. Sorry to hear it.

That stinks. Tough break for Didi and the Yankees.

[moonslav59]

I wasn't aware he was expected back this year.

[Youk Of The Nation]

This is going to significantly damage the Yankees ability to hit a bunch of meaningless solo home runs when they get blown out by seven runs in Oakland.

[jacksonianmarch]

Haha Youk. Didi has been told Players with a similar injury can play through this, but he could barely move the wrist when he arrived at the park and needed a cortisone injection. My assumption is that he will try to play with it but be pretty limited. It’s a big blow.

[Carpin]

Now the logic move will be Torres to SS Walker to 2B and Torreyes as the utility guy

[bkzwhitestrican]

Didi says he thinks there's a high chance he's ready for the postseason - it's a pain tolerance issue. We'll see what happens but I wouldn't say he's "likely" out for the postseason.

[dgalehouse]

The head first slide strikes again.

[jacksonianmarch]

Says he’ll play by the end of the week. We shall see

With a wrist injury, I can't imagine that he'd be able to swing normally in that short a period of time. I'm not the doctor here, but it sounds more like wishful thinking than anything else.

[jacksonianmarch]

Agreed Kimmi. Cartilage injuries don’t lead to structural problems short term, but they do lead to pain. It’s his throwing wrist too.

[jacksonianmarch]

So much for doom and gloom. Didi was cleared for baseball activities and will play in the Sox series
