Chris Gittens will need to elevate and celebrate if he wants to stick around

Luke Voit is finally on the way back to the Bronx. His absence has been, without a doubt, the hardest to adequately cover for the Yankees, as they have tried several players there without much success. The first baseman looks like he could rejoin the team as early as this weekend.

Yet, since he suffered his second injury, the oblique strain, the Yankees have had the opportunity to take a look at a longtime minor leaguer, one that could potentially have the tools to be a contributor if given enough playing time: Chris Gittens. Our own Joshua Diemert profiled him before he reached the bigs, so we are somewhat familiar with his skillset.
