Since June 25 and July 4, there have been two prominent hitters missing from the New York Yankees lineup.
The Kraken, otherwise known as Gary Sanchez, was placed on the 10-day disabled list on June 25 with a right groin strain. Soon after, Gleyber Torres hit the 10-day DL on July 4 after suffering a right hip strain.
That being established, since their time spent on the disabled list, there has been an uptick in chatter of the New York Yankees looking to land another big-time bat in the lineup. Without a daily supply of the rookie sensation, Gleyber Torres, the Yankees seem to be missing a piece of the puzzle.
