New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit is headed back to the injured list with a sports hernia and could be sidelined well into September if he needs surgery, manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday.
Boone said the Yankees will determine a course of action for Voit over the next few days. Options include treating the injury on a day-to-day basis or having surgery, which would keep him of the lineup for six weeks.
Voit left Tuesday's 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks in the fifth inning and had an MRI following the game.
