Midway through the 2019 campaign leaving first baseman Luke Voit off the postseason roster would seem ludicrous for the New York Yankees. In recent days, he is slumping with a 1-for-32 stat line. Voit boasted a .886 OPS before going down with a sports hernia injury.
Ever since Voit returned, his statistical totals have plummeted, and he rejects the idea that the injury may be playing a part. He was hitting .263/.378/.464 before September, and is now slashing .194/.326/.347 over 86 at-bats.
If his lingering sports hernia injury is causing him problems, sitting him for the postseason might not be the worst idea.
