Yankees make more changes to medical staff

In the wake of the great Bronx injury epidemic of 2019, the Yankees continue to overhaul their people and processes for their training and conditioning.

An industry source confirmed a report by The Athletic that the Yankees will hire Eric Cressey, a celebrity in the performance world, to oversee their training and conditioning.

Previous director of strength and conditioning Matt Krause was dismissed, as The Post first reported on Dec. 20, and longtime head athletic trainer Steve Donohue, who began working for the Yankees organization in 1979 and joined the big league club in 1986 under legendary trainer Gene Monahan, will assume an emeritus role.
