NJ.com | Randy Miller: Yankees non-roster invitee Robinson Chirinos was diagnosed with a fractured right wrist on Wednesday after getting hit by a 98-mph fastball thrown by Pirates right-hander Blake Cederlind. There is no timeline for the catcher’s return as of yet, and the Yankees will consult hand specialists in the next few days to determine what Chirinos’ next steps will be. The Yankees signed the veteran to a minor-league contract in February, and, while his absence affects the team’s catching depth, the Yankees will be fine so long as Gary Sánchez and Kyle Higashioka stay healthy.
