Yankees Opening Day Advent: Day 10
Saturday: Gary Sanchez is experiencing some lower back tightness. We expect him to play Monday.
Sunday: Gary is still experiencing some tightness, we hope to have him play Tuesday.
Monday: Gary still has some tightness and will be held out until at least Friday.
Tuesday: Gary now has the flu! And we still don’t know how his back is doing.
Great! As if losing the two biggest mashers on the team in Judge and Stanton wasn’t bad enough, the third best slugger on the team is now ailing. The latest Yankee injury situation checks all of the boxes of an incoming disaster.
