He can’t tell you when, or where, but Didi Gregorius vowed Saturday that he shall return as the same player he was before he suffered his surprising injury.
“Really confident,” the Yankees’ shortstop said when asked of his convictions that Tommy John surgery on his right elbow would not sidetrack his progress. “I don’t think much is going to change. It’s just surgery and that’s it.”
The 28-year-old, in his first public words since the Yankees announced his injury, said he didn’t have a timeline for when he could rejoin the active roster.
