Error 0:
When New York Yankees‘ center fielder underwent Tommy John surgery last year (in October, to be specific,) it was believed that he would miss the first half of the 2020 season, at the very least. The procedure doesn’t require the same recovery time in position players than it does on pitchers. However, it was a given that Hicks, a very valuable member of the Yankees’ core, would miss some time of the new season.
However, that is no longer the case. Because of the coronavirus outbreak, the start of the new season, which was scheduled for March 26, has been delayed at least until late May, and that date is very unrealistic given that the COVID-19 landscape in the United States is worsening by the minute.
