The Yankees had to place struggling left-handed reliever Justin Wilson on the 10-day injured list on May 29 with a right hamstring strain. Fourteen days later, he is reportedly doing very well and responding to treatment, according to manager Aaron Boone, and is expected to rejoin the Yankees sometime this month.
It’s not a secret that Wilson has struggled mightily this season. As his 6.08 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and mediocre 12/6 K/BB ratio over 13 1/3 innings can attest to, things haven’t been going smoothly for the southpaw in 2021.
Boone, however, said this week that the injury had been bothering Wilson for “a few weeks”, and I can’t help but wonder whether it has heavily affected his performance.
