Yankees First Rounder Blake Rutherford Out Indefinitely with Hamstring Injury
New York Yankees 2016 first round pick Blake Rutherford will miss the remainder of the Pulaski Yankees season with a hamstring injury according to multiple reports.
A mini-controversy ensued among Yankees fans Sunday after the Pulaski Yankees official account tweeted and subsequently deleted the following ominous message late Saturday night:
19-year-old Pulaski outfielder Blake Rutherford, the 18th overall selection in the 2016 June amateur draft, has not played a game since August 24th. The mysterious tweet sparked speculation that the Yankees first rounder had gotten into some kind of trouble or received a suspension.
