Despite clinching a postseason spot, this past weekend did not go well for the Yankees. They lost a bullpen game to the 110-loss Orioles yesterday and also lost Didi Gregorius to torn cartilage in his right wrist. He suffered the injury when he slid into home plate on Aaron Hicks’ postseason berth clinching walk-off double Saturday night. Baseball is cruel. I have some thoughts on the injury, so let’s get to ’em.
