On Wednesday Didi tested out his injured heel by doing some light running and also fielded ground balls and took batting practice prior to the Yankees 4-1 loss to the White Sox. This is promising news because as we saw throughout this past series the offense is really struggling right now. There’s no way the White Sox pitching staff should’ve been able to quiet the Yankee lineup but without Didi, Judge and Sanchez there are too many easy outs 1-9 lately.
The Yankees need their big boppers back ASAP and with a huge west coast trip looming next week, the hope is that Didi can return by the end of the weekend or for the Oakland series starting Monday.
