New York Yankees GM Brian Cashman defends medical staff, hospital

Injuries—there isn’t another topic that could dare dream touch the New York Yankees 2019 season.

And now, Greg Bird joins the crowded Bronx shelf.

Bird, 26, will be out at least a month with more foot problems. He’s been diagnosed with a left plantar fascia tear.

No, former New York Mets trainer Ray Ramirez isn’t in the house. No matter, though; Yankees general manager Brian Cashman isn’t looking to point the finger at any one person or department. In fact, he’s defending his medical staff, via Joel Sherman of the New York Post.
