Ever since winning American League Player of the Week, Luke Voit has received a grand total of 17 plate appearances courtesy of manager Aaron Boone and the New York Yankees. Anyone care to tell us why?
The team has played eight games since Voit’s hot streak helped set the offense on fire and he’s been rewarded with two plate appearances per game over that span.
