New York Yankees 1B Luke Voit heads to 10-day IL with sports hernia

This week, the New York Yankees placed first baseman Luke Voit on the 10-day injured list with a sports hernia. Voit will now spend time recovering as the Yankees try to continue their mostly-victorious summer.

However, it may not just be 10 days out of the lineup for Voit. According to Yankees skipper Aaron Boone, the timetable could be longer than that.

Boone stated that “it’s one of those things where it could be treated in a day-to-day scenario or it could turn into a surgery situation which could be more of a six week-type thing.
