Death, taxes, and the New York Yankees losing important players to injuries in spring training. No three things in life have been more certain!
The Bronx Bombers’ run of bad luck in this department continued on Wednesday, the first day of spring training for pitchers and catchers. Manager Aaron Boone took the podium and announced two inconvenient, but not necessarily devastating injuries.
On the pitching side, righty Scott Effross had back surgery in December and only recently began his throwing program. The sinkerballer now won’t be back until the summer after missing all of 2023 with Tommy John surgery.
