Didi Gregorius To Return Before The Conclusion Of The Regular Season

Injuries are apart of the game and throughout the season they’re going to happen. The good news though is that one of New York’s players that player being Didi Gregorius will return to the diamond before the conclusion of the regular season.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed a report by YES Network's Michael Kay on Wednesday that the shortstop was cleared for baseball activities after having his right wrist examined by doctors. According to Kay, Gregorius is expected to return to the lineup within the next four games and should be cleared to play throughout the postseason. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/didi-gregorius-cleared-for-baseball-activities/c-296132062

Though Gregorius sustained a cartilage tear in his right wrist on Saturday while diving into home plate while scoring the walk-off run against the Orioles that clinched the Yankees' spot in the postseason, he received a cortisone injection in the affected area on Sunday and said on Monday that he believed he would return to the field before the end of the season. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/didi-gregorius-cleared-for-baseball-activities/c-296132062

"I feel way better," Gregorius said on Monday. "It's a big improvement from yesterday to today. I'm feeling stronger. I'll get some exercises in and wait to see what's going to happen. ... I said the same thing yesterday; I said I'll be ready to go before the season ends." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/didi-gregorius-cleared-for-baseball-activities/c-296132062

Adeiny Hechavarria has been starting at shortstop in Gregorius' absence and was 1-for-10 with a homer in the role entering Wednesday. But it would clearly be a big boon for the Yankees to get their starting shortstop back -- Boone has proclaimed Gregorius to be "the captain of the infield," and the 28-year-old has hit a career-high 27 homers, breaking his own record for most in a single season by a Yankees shortstop while hitting .268/.336/.498. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/didi-gregorius-cleared-for-baseball-activities/c-296132062

Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius, who injured his right wrist sliding into home with the winning run in Saturday's game against the Orioles, has been cleared for baseball activities, manager Aaron Boone confirmed to The Michael Kay Show on Wednesday. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/didi-gregorius-cleared-for-baseball-activities/c-296132062

Initial reports suggested that Gregorius, batting .268/.336/.498 with 27 home runs and 86 RBIs, might miss the postseason because of the injury. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/didi-gregorius-cleared-for-baseball-activities/c-296132062
