Aaron Hicks was anxious that his proper shin was damaged. After he fouled the ball off of the facet of his decrease leg, he collapsed within the grime and when he received up he had bother placing weight on it. But Hicks averted the worst. Hicks doesn’t have any damaged bones and is hopeful he will likely be again within the lineup earlier than the All-Star break.
“I got X-rays and CT scans and they all came back negative which is nice. So, hopefully in a couple of days I’ll be able to get back on the field and keep going,” Hicks stated.
The outfielder was simply beginning to get again to kind the previous couple of weeks after lacking a lot of the 2021 season due to wrist surgical procedure to restore a broken tendon.
“I am frustrated, especially since now I’m starting to get the results that I want,” Hicks stated. “Getting more power, more extra-base hits and to just have to stop just kind of sucks. I feel good at the plate and then like that it just kind of stops you from doing what you love and it slows everything down.”
In his final 9 video games, Hicks slashed .370/.485/.889 with three doubles, a triple and three dwelling runs.
Yankees supervisor Aaron Boone stated they gained’t rush him again and it’s unlikely he’ll play earlier than Friday.
“I mean today it’ll be important just to start to treat it. Obviously getting good news that it was not a fracture, especially looking at the replay it obviously looks pretty, pretty bad,” Boone stated earlier than Wednesday evening’s sport towards the Reds at Yankee Stadium. “So, that’s a bit of good news and now he can start to really treat it and make some gains here, starting today, and we’ll just kind of see where we’re at and go day-to-day with it.”
LOAISIGA CLOSE
Jonathan Loaisiga gave up a run on three hits and struck out two in an inning of labor for Triple-A Scranton Tuesday evening. The right-hander has been on the injured checklist with proper shoulder irritation since May. Boone stated they’ll talk about his subsequent step within the coming days.
“We’ll kind of flesh all that out today and tomorrow and decide if we want to just roll with it now,” Boone stated of activating Loaisiga off the IL. “But I have actually not even not watched his outing yet. I’m going to go watch that. But I heard it went pretty well and he threw the ball really well and feels good. He was already in the weight room, working out today here. So I think another encouraging one for him.”
Loaisiga had the identical situation late final season and missed simply 11 days. The righty had struggled this season earlier than getting injured and the Yankees have used this as an opportunity to work on his mechanics.
GERMAN IN LIMBO
Domingo German is scheduled to make another minor league rehab begin, Boone stated. The right-hander, who started the season on the injured checklist with proper shoulder impingement syndrome, is scheduled to pitch Friday with Triple-A Scranton.
But it’s written in pencil.
“He threw a bullpen today with the idea that he’s going to make another Friday with Scranton. That conceivably could change,” Boone stated. “Over the next 24 or 48 hours we could pull the plug on that but we’re getting him ready to make that start.”
The Yankees may wish him earlier than then to assist with the bullpen or a possible spot begin. They haven’t but introduced their starters for the Red Sox collection over the weekend heading into the All-Star break.
LOOKING WAY TOO FAR AHEAD
The Yankees have three collection and virtually two weeks earlier than they go to Citi Field to play the Mets within the annual Subway Series, however it’s by no means too early for both staff to be requested about it.
“It has popped in my head a couple of times knowing that that’s on the horizon and knowing that that’ll probably be a pretty big deal, as it always is, but maybe even more so this year,” Boone stated. “So I would say it popped into my head a few times, yes. And we’ll look forward to playing another great team across town.”
