Luke Voit landed back on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia on Wednesday, and he could be out for a while.
Aaron Boone said Voit could be treated day-to-day or he may end up undergoing surgery, which would require about a six-week absence. Boone thought the Yankees would know more by Thursday.
He left Tuesday’s game after appearing to wince on a swing. Voit missed seven games earlier this month with an abdomen strain and Boone didn’t rule out the two injuries could be related.
Breyvic Valera was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to take Voit’s spot on the roster for Wednesday’s game.
