Just 16 games into the season, the New York Yankees already own a record for the league. And it’s not a good one.
With 13 players succumbing to injury, the Bronx Bombers should likely start creating their new stadium at Montefiore Medical Center. That tops the league so far in terms of players on the newly named injured list.
With a depleted squad so early on in the season, the Yankees have looked more like the Bronx Bummers than their other namesake. While one player doesn’t make an entire team, it’s become very clear that there are several key pieces missing to a roster that has the potential to snag their first World Series title since 2009.
