Boone?

Why cut bait when he costs next to nothing?

 

 

Because with the amount of injuries the Yankees currently have, it’s only a matter of time (days? hours? minutes?) before the 40-man roster spot he occupies is more valuable than he is.

 

Don’t you think Toronto released him for a similar reason?

come on Notin. you are not playing fair here. that is baseball knowledge that is well beyond Babe's capacity. he is still playing checkers to your chess.....

[jacksonianmarch]

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.

[jacksonianmarch]

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

[Carpin]

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)

[Carpin]

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

[jacksonianmarch]

That’s best case there. Let’s hope we can see him second half

[mvp 78]

Any Andujar update?

[notin]

Any Andujar update?

 

 

He still can’t field. I’ll keep you posted if this changes...

[moonslav59]

11 Yankess on the IL!

 

Luis Severino’s recent MRI revealed a Grade 2 lat strain that will cause the righty to be shut down from throwing for the next six weeks, the Yankees announced to reporters (Twitter link via Newsday’s Erik Boland). The lat injury is a new development that is unrelated to the previous bout of shoulder inflammation from which Severino was working his way back. This new injury, it seems, was sustained while Severino was rehabbing his shoulder.

[bkzwhitestrican]

Just some updates:

 

Miguel Andujar made 25 throws from 60 feet yesterday and has been cleared to swing a bat on Friday. It’s not yet clear if he will be able to avoid surgery to repair the small tear in his right shoulder’s labrum, though both he and the Yankees are hopeful that he can avoid going under the knife..

 

Aaron Hicks has begun to hit soft-toss in addition to his throwing regimen, tweets James Wagner of the New York Times. According to manager Aaron Boone, his next step would be to take on-field batting practice.

 

Giancarlo Stanton has begun to swing a bat. There were no reported setbacks during the session and he should continue swinging, gradually taking further steps before making his return.

 

Dellin Betances might throw in a simulated game today, Boone said. If that goes well, Betances could get into a minor-league game next, which could mean his next move would be back in the majors.

 

CC Sabathia threw 62 pitches over 4 1/3 innings for High-A Tampa on Sunday. Boone said it went well. He is currently scheduled to make his season debut Saturday, starting against the White Sox in New York.

[bkzwhitestrican]

Kyle Higashioka has been called up. No corresponding move has been announced yet but I imagine it means Sanchez is either going to the IL or will continue having to DH for awhile. Let the April from hell continue.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sanchez is having leg tightness

[jacksonianmarch]

Sanchez to the IL with a calf strain

[Carpin]

This is a freaking joke

[moonslav59]

You guys better hope you are just getting all your injuries out of the way early, and not that this is a continuing trend.

[jacksonianmarch]

Sounds like this has been brewing a bit. We need to get past April

[moonslav59]

Rehabbing Yankees reliever Dellin Betances is not progressing on quite the timeline that might have been hoped. Manager Aaron Boone said today that a recent simulated game “didn’t go great,” as MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch was among those to tweet. Betances is now heading back to New York to undergo an MRI on his shoulder.

[jacksonianmarch]

Crazy s***

[bkzwhitestrican]

All the excitement that I built up for this season has now turned into apathy. None of these new/worsening injuries phase me any more. Does one additional kick in the nuts even matter after you've already been kicked 12 times?

[jacksonianmarch]

This is turning into a lost season and not due to underperformance. It is gonna be a depth season. Time to bring up some kids and see what they can do. Heck, our best prospect is on the shelf as well with a broken wrist.

[moonslav59]

Come on, guys. Many of these guys should be back.

 

Just make the playoffs and hope for health in October.

[jacksonianmarch]

Not giving up on the team, way too early for that. But all the pre-season hype of beating the HR record, winning over 100 games, being the best team in the league, etc. has started to dissipate. Now it's more like "don't dig too big of a hole before your injured players recover" mode. Not all that fun.
