Luke Voit Nearing Return For New York?
New York is no stranger to injuries this season as there have been a number of them.
However, one of New York’s players who is currently on the injured list could be back sooner rather then later.
- Luke Voit ran the bases and took grounders on the Yankee Stadium infield on Friday, and the first baseman believes that he will soon be able to return to the lineup, thus avoiding what could have been a season-ending surgical procedure. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
Voit has not played since July 30 due to a sports hernia, but the slugger said he has been pain-free for several days. The Yankees have cleared Voit to continue on-field workouts with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre beginning on Monday, with Minor League rehab games to follow. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
"I know I'm going there to take BP and do baseball activities, kind of like Spring Training, I guess," Voit said. "It's just getting used to taking BP every day, grounders, getting workouts and everything. Then I'll play Thursday or Friday." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
Voit, 28, has been among the Yankees' offensive leaders this season, batting .278/.392/.493 with 19 homers, 16 doubles, a triple and 54 RBIs in 94 games. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
"We've been really excited about Luke over the last week, realizing that he's going to be able to get back," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
Asked if he could return during the Yankees' upcoming West Coast trip, Voit said it might make more sense to wait until the club opens a homestand on Aug. 30, two days ahead of the roster-expansion date. “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
"In the back of my mind, I want to make sure I'm ready," Voit said. "I'm more concerned about playing in October than playing in Seattle or something like that." “according to https://www.mlb.com/yankees/news/luke-voit-seeks-injury-return
