The New York Yankees‘ bad luck is building up going into a four-game series with the Texas Rangers. The Yankees have been mostly unscathed with major injuries to start this season comparing to the last two years, but with today’s news, that is quickly changing. This afternoon the Yankees announced that another regular player was going on the IL, that being Yankee DH Giancarlo Stanton, with a quad strain.
This string of bad luck started last week when seven Yankee staff members tested positive for the Covid 19 virus. That spread to eight when the first Yankee player, Gleyber Torres, also tested positive for the virus.
