New York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird hasn’t seen the field since May 1 due to a bone bruise on his right ankle and manager Joe Girardi says there is no timetable for his return.
“He’s still not ready to start baseball activities,” Girardi said following New York’s 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros at Yankee Stadium on Thursday night. “When the pain is gone he’ll start.”
Bird is 6-for-60 this season (.100) and has maintained a wRC+ of 33 — the lowest among major league first baseman with at least 60 plate appearances.
