The other day, the New York Yankees announced that their all-star caliber shortstop Didi Gregorius will be returning from rehab and will play against the Cleveland Indians this weekend. However, Didi has struggled a bit in his rehab, so could it be beneficial to extend his rehab a bit, especially with the way that the Yankees are playing.
Just one hit
Through Tuesday’s game against the Buffalo Bison, Didi has just one hit in 21 at-bats with the SWB Railriders. In his seven at-bats with high-A Tampa, he went 2-for-7 with a home run.
Because Didi is having so much trouble hitting the ball, it may be worth keeping him in AAA for another week or so until the three week rehabilitation period has ended before calling him up.
