Injuries have been the theme of the 2019 season for the Yankees up to this point and with just 15 games to go, that continues to be the case. Earlier this week they lost Mike Tauchman for the season to a calf strain and on Wednesday it was pretty much confirmed that Aaron Hicks is likely done for the season as well after receiving a second opinion on his right elbow.
After the game, Aaron Boone told reporters that Encarnacion felt the oblique issue early in the game but that it didn’t affect him while swinging.
