LoHuh.com: Cockrell: Wrist injury was lingering issue for Brett Gardner this season

Disclaimer: If you think this is the official website of the New York Yankees, you're an idiot. Go away.

In a conference call late this morning, new Yankees hitting coach Alan Cockrell revealed Brett Gardner played almost the entire season with a wrist injury. Cockrell didn’t know the exact date that the problem started, but he said it started with a hit by pitch very early in the season (he thought it was maybe in Tampa Bay).

Just looking through Gardner’s season, it seems April 13 is probably the date in question.
