As expected, the Yankees made a small roster move prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Royals, though perhaps no roster move is too small when it involves the previous season’s home run leader. Luke Voit is healthy again and back with the Yankees, as the team activated him from the injured list. This was the logical follow-up to first baseman Chris Gittens being sent down to Triple-A Scranton after Sunday’s game.
Voit’s had a tough time truly getting going in 2021. A spring training injury forced him to undergo knee surgery to repair a partially torn meniscus and miss the first six weeks of the season.
