Yankees add Ben Heller to postseason roster, explained

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. With CC Sabathia’s injury in Game Four, you can now add Ben Heller to that list.
