The Yankees will miss Luke Voit’s impact during the first month, both on and off the field

Over the weekend, it was reported that New York Yankees’ first baseman Luke Voit is dealing with a partially torn meniscus in his left knee, an injury that has been bothering in spring training, and he elected to have surgery to repair it and join his teammates in May.

Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone explained that Voit will spend three weeks rehabbing while doing no baseball activities, so he expects to have one of his most valuable sluggers back well before June.

Several Yankees’ teammates talked about how Voit will be missed dearly when he is away, both on and off the field.
