Yankees make major changes to their training staff heading into 2020

In 2019 a total of 30 Yankees combined for 39 stints on the injured list. From the start of spring training all the way until October the injuries continued to plague New York and yet they still managed to win 103 games during the regular season and make it to Game 6 of the ALCS.

Last month the Yanks fired their director of strength and conditioning Matt Krause after spending the last six seasons with the club. It’s probably unfair to put all the blame on him for the inordinate amount of injuries, but somebody had to be the fall guy for what took place and I don’t think his dismissal came as a surprise to anyone.
