The probability of the New York Yankees winning 103 games last season with 20 different players spending time on the injured list in 2019 is quite impressive. However, the amount of injuries is the problematic point, and the Yankees addressed that concern as they fired strength and conditioning coach Matt Krause on Friday. Krause has been with the team since 2014 and had two years remaining on his contract, but there is a specific factoid that is worth reviewing.
According to CBS:
According to my unofficial count, 27 of New York’s 39 injured list stints were for new soft tissue injuries, including five different players who were sidelined with calf strains.
