The New York Yankees just can’t catch a break with injuries. Just when they thought they had their first baseman back for good, Luke Voit suffered another injury that will keep him sidelined for a significant amount of time.
The Yankees’ slugger is headed to the injured list with a Grade 2 right oblique strain, several outlets reported on Wednesday afternoon.
The initial estimates have Voit missing about a month with the ailment, but that’s not a given, as the injury is extremely unpredictable. Erik Boland explained that right fielder Aaron Judge missed 54 games in 2019 after suffering a similar injury.
