With yet another injury to Greg Bird, this season’s ever-changing lineup will have to adjust once again. Injuries to Gary Sanchez, Giancarlo Stanton, and Aaron Hicks all felt like huge losses of production when first announced, but there exists something of a different feeling when it comes to Bird. Bird was thought to be someone who could produce as the others worked their way to return after brief absences; instead, he faces one the most significant injuries that has struck the Yankees this year.
Bird faces another potentially long recovery with a plantar fascia tear.
