Can the Yankees survive another season being decimated by injuries?

Just like 2019, the New York Yankees are losing players at a record-setting pace in 2020.

That troubling trend continued Friday as three more players were placed on the injured list.

Shortstop Gleyber Torres (Quad/Hamstring) and pitchers James Paxton (forearm) and Luis Avilan (shoulder), became the 11th, 12th and 13th Yankees' players placed on the injured list this season.

If this were a 162-game season, New York would be well ahead of its 2019 pace, which ended up with a league record 30 different players landing on the IL.

That means, through 25 games this season, the Yankees have had 13 players on the IL.
