Untimely injuries have been the bane of the New York Yankees‘ existence over the past two seasons. In 2019, the Bombers set an MLB record with 39 players hitting the injured list, losing stars Giancarlo Stanton, Luis Severino, Aaron Judge, Dellin Betances, and more, for differing amounts of time. However, Stanton, Severino, and Betances, all missed the entire regular season virtually.
Firing strength and conditioning coach Matt Kraus and hiring Eric Cressey was the first of several moves in an attempt to rejuvenate the Yankees’ health program. While the major leaguers went through a plague of sorts, some of their minor-league prospects also succumbed to the bug.
