If residents of Scranton, Pennsylvania, have thought that the members of the current Yankees roster looked familiar, there’s a good reason for that. The Yankees injured list looks fuller than it has since 2019, the season known for its #NextManUp mantra: Anthony Rizzo, DJ LeMahieu, Matt Carpenter, and Andrew Benintendi are currently on the 10-man IL, Aroldis Chapman, Scott Effross, Albert Abreu, and Luis Severino are on the 15-day, and Harrison Bader, Luis Gil, Zack Britton, Miguel Castro, Chad Green, Michael King, and Stephen Ridings occupy the 60-day.
While some of these players won’t be seen until 2023 at the earliest — sorry, King, Gil, and Green (and probably Ridings, too, who hasn’t had many updates) — many of these players are currently working their way back.
