Earlier today, the Yankees announced they have voided right-hander Ben Heller’s minor league option, and placed on him on the big league 10-day DL (retroactive to March 27th) with a bone spur in his elbow. The Yankees didn’t say anything about whether he needs surgery. Heller was among the final spring roster cuts. He was sent down on March 21st.
The option being voided indicates Heller suffered the injury at some point before being sent down, and either they didn’t find it until now or he didn’t tell them until now. For all intents and purposes, it’s like he was never sent down.
