The New York Yankees are already dealing with a number of significant injuries, notably in the starting rotation. Frankie Montas and Carlos Rodon have already gone down, but losing Harrison Bader in centerfield is just another problem manager Aaron Boone has to deal with.

Bader is known to be injury prone, playing just 86 games last year due to plantar fasciitis.
