We'll have more about this major injury in the BYB recap later and over the weekend, but I have to tell you, this sucks. It's true. Francisco Cervelli who has been a passionate part of this Yankee club this season broke his hand tonight on a foul ball. He will be out for 6 weeks (Expect 8 weeks which is Yankee time) and he will probably require surgery, according to ESPN's Andrew Marchand. Read HERE. Marchand writes: "In Cervelli's absence, Chris Stewart is expected to become the primary catcher. At Triple-A, the Yankees have top prospect Austin Romine. He is likely to join the team on Saturday.
Cervelli, whose hot bat and solid defense have made him the Yankees' primary catcher, injured his right hand on a foul ball from Toronto leadoff man Rajai Davis. Cervelli tried to stay in the game, but Girardi ultimately decided to replace him with Stewart."
To make matters worse, or maybe not because lately, no one likes what Ivan Nova has been giving us... Nova was also taken out of the game tonight with elbow soreness. He is getting an MRI as we speak. This isn't a joke, this is ridiculous.
I feel like the grim reaper is standing over us right now and we're just doing our best tap dance to get through the season. It's terrible what has happened to our club, yet, we are still finding ways to win.
Say a Hail Mary for Yankeeland... it's unbelievable what's happened...
