NJ.com | Max Goodman: The Yankees are going to have to deal with a relatively large hole in center field for the foreseeable future. Harrison Bader is expected to be out of the lineup for at least six weeks due to an injury to his left oblique. He said it was a “punch to the face,” as the play that injured his oblique was as benign as they come, on a swing that resulted in a strikeout in a spring training game.
Given Bader’s quotes, he is clearly upset that he won’t be able to start on Opening Day, and an outfield of him, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton is lethal.
