The New York Yankees brought in the reinforcements this offseason due to starting shortstop Didi Gregorius’s Tommy John surgery. The signing of veteran Troy Tulowitzki presented an alternative at the position while Didi rehabs.
It was expected that the usual starter would return mid-summer but reports have indicated that his timetable for return has been pushed back a few weeks.
June was the original return month, but it’s looking more like August at this point.
Manager Aaron Boone indicated that Gregorius could return 2-4 months into the season but Brian Cashman has now stated that it’s looking more like 6 months.
