BALTIMORE -- In addition to their COVID-19 outbreak woes, injuries have started piling up for the New York Yankees, with Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Hicks out of the lineup for Friday night's series opener against the Baltimore Orioles.
Stanton was scratched from the lineup about an hour before first pitch due to left quad tightness, the club announced, replacing him with catcher Gary Sanchez batting fourth in the DH spot.
Manager Aaron Boone also revealed during his pregame media availability that Hicks, who had undergone imaging after suffering from left wrist soreness, was diagnosed with a torn tendon sheath.
