MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Didi Gregorius’ Tommy John surgery went “as expected” on Wednesday. Didi’s injury—which the Yankees believe occurred when he fielded a ball off the Green Monster and threw home during Game 2 of the ALDS in Boston—and subsequent surgery is expected to sideline the Yankee shortstop until at least midway through the 2019 season. After the surgery, Brian Cashman stuck with his initial estimated timeline for Didi to return sometime between June and August.
Gleyber Torres remains the leading candidate to fill the shortstop position at this point.
