We've all been watching Luke Voit tear it up during his rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton / Wilkes-Barre so we've known his return has been imminent. Yesterday, Aaron Boone finally confirmed it HERE, and Voit will be back sometime during the Rays series. At long last, the 2020 Home Run machine is going to make his 2021 debut.....and he's ready.
When Voit went down early in Spring I was pretty disappointed. The Yankees have been plagued with injuries for so long and for spring to start with such bad news it really sucked, but it sounds like this time, the Yankees didn't sit around and wait too long to make some decisions. "It was something that popped up early in spring and just kind of got better as we went on, but it just didn’t feel right. I am just done playing hurt and I wanted to play 100% and I feel like it was the right thing," he continued. "I think I could have made it worse to where I could have been out a lot longer than what I will be for this."
We've seen what Voit can do when he is 100% so I'm glad he listened to his body and knew that even though he felt some improvements, he knew it wasn't healing right. Missing Voit for the first five weeks of the season has hurt, but missing him even longer would've really sucked.
The Yankees just got some much needed help as we start a long stretch of games. Welcome back, boys! Now seriously....can we stop with all of the knee injuries? We've had too many and it's freaking me out.

LYou do know that Gio is being treated by people who can't determine a sore knee from one ending yo needing surgery, can't figure out what is causing Judge's actual reason for soreness, knew Sevy had complained of forearm pain in 2019 playoffs are the same ones treating Gio?
ReplyDeleteWhy not make sure before rushing Gio back. We can live with Andujar at 3B a few more days. He hustled and makes contact. Time to quit carrying all these 1 inning relievers like Wilson.Send him out DFA or IL
