CITY OF KANSAS – When shortstop Gleyber Torres entered the injured list, he became the 15th Yankees player to enter the IL since the all-star break.
They can’t take a break.
Luckily for them, they suffered no injuries in an 8-6 11-innings win over the Royals at Kauffman Stadium on Monday.
Ahead of the game, manager Aaron Boone analyzed the progress of a handful of injured Yankees players:
Gleyber Torres, SS
Injury: Sprained thumb
The last: The Yankees believe Torres could miss up to 20 days after injuring his thumb when he slipped his head first. Boone said the Yankees thought the injury could have been worse, but were encouraged by the MRI Torres had. The shortstop will continue to see specialists for the next few days.
Luis Severino, RHP
Injury: Groin sprain, Tommy John surgery
The last: Severino will start at Double-A Somerset on Friday and the Yankees could activate him from the injured list afterwards. Boone said the decision will depend on Severino’s preparation. “Build yourself up a bit more and then we’ll probably have a decision in front of us, if he takes another, and we’ll have a conversation about whether this one is with us,” Boone said. Severino has not played in major tournaments since the end of 2019.
Corey kluber, RHP
Injury: Sprained right shoulder
The latest: Kluber will undergo his first rehab on Friday at Double-A Somerset. He has been on the injured list since June 5. General manager Brian Cashman said the Yankees are hopeful Kluber could return in early September.
German domingo, RHP
Injury: Inflammation of the right shoulder
The last: German could start launching soon. “If all goes well with that, he should ramp up pretty quickly,” Boone said.
