ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- New York Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi has a broken bone in his right wrist that will need surgery, but manager Aaron Boone said he didn't know whether it was a season-ending injury.
Boone revealed the diagnosis of a broken hook of the hamate bone after the AL East leaders beat Tampa Bay 2-1 on Sunday. Benintendi will be further examined by doctors Monday back in New York.
Benintendi was hurt while taking a swing Friday night and was put on the 10-day injured list the next day.
The 28-year-old Benintendi was an All-Star this season with Kansas City, then was traded to the Yankees in late July.
