MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi broke the hook of the hamate bone in his right hand on Friday’s game against the Rays, according to manager Aaron Boone. The initial X-rays came back negative, but since he felt a pop on his wrist after a swing, the Yankees had him undergo additional testing to confirm the bad news. He will need surgery.
Benintendi was one of the few Yankees who was producing, with a .298/.339/.474 line over his last 15 games, but he will be out of action for the foreseeable future.
