The New York Yankees are dealing with a significant issue at the catcher position, given three of their reserve options are dealing with injury. Ben Rortvedt is recovering from an aneurysm in his shoulder that required surgery, keeping him out for at least a month. Top catcher prospect Austin Wells suffered a broken rib, shutting him down for the rest of spring training.
