New York Yankees’ slugger Luke Voit has missed the past few weeks due to a sports hernia. Friday night, Voit played six innings and hit leadoff for the triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre Railriders to begin his rehab assignment. He went 0-3 with a walk and a run scored in the game. These rehab assignments aren’t about performance but mostly about making sure he’s feeling back to 100%.
Manager Aaron Boone said that Voit could be activated from the injured list next Friday. Boone said, “The way we have it mapped out, there is a chance he could join us that Friday when we start the homestand.
