As it currently stands, the Yankees don’t have any left-handed hitters on their projected 25-man roster. Didi Gregorius and Neil Walker were replaced with Troy Tulowitzki and DJ LeMahieu, two right-handed hitters, and Greg Bird looks like he’ll be replaced with Luke Voit, another right-hander. There’s a very real chance that Brett Gardner and Aaron Hicks, a pair of switch hitters, will be the Yankees’ only options from the left side.
Those facts might be a little surprising, especially for a team that plays in a stadium notoriously friendly to left-handed power.
