New York Yankees close to getting back two essential sluggers

The New York Yankees haven’t been able to avoid the injury bug all season. Losing both starting-quality first baseman surely didn’t help in their quest for success, but luckily they’ve been able to supplement their loss in production with other players.

However, they’re close to getting both Luke Voit and Edwin Encarnacion back from injury. Voit is expected to start a rehab assignment next Friday.

“The way we have it mapped out, there is a chance he could join us that Friday when we start the homestand,” Boone said, according to the NY Post.
