ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- The New York Yankees' injury woes continued Friday night as Andrew Benintendi was taken out of the game against the Tampa Bay Rays in the third inning due to a right wrist injury.
The extent of the injury was not immediately known, but the Yankees said Benintendi was scheduled for X-rays.
Benintendi, who had a leadoff double in the first inning, swung and missed at the first pitch of his second at-bat against Rays starter Jeffrey Springs, a 90 mph sinker, and started shaking his right hand vigorously.
