Yankees add Ben Heller to postseason roster, explained

Roster construction is always heavily anticipated during the playoffs, but this season felt as if more attention was being paid towards the 25 men the Yankees decided to field. With the amount of injuries that occurred this year, the Bombers have had tough decisions to make. A player like Luke Voit who was slotted fifth behind Giancarlo Stanton last postseason and pivotal for the Yankees’ early season success was left off the roster. Cameron Maybin, Tyler Wade, and Tyler Lyons, have all been beneficiaries on the postseason roster because of under performance and injury.
