NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — The Yankees will be without one of their top players when they open the regular season.
Shortstop Didi Gregorius, who suffered a shoulder injury in the World Baseball Classic, has been ordered to avoid baseball activities for two weeks, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday.
While there is no exact timetable for Gregorius’ return, Girardi said the 27-year-old shortstop could miss all of April. General manager Brian Cashman said his best guess is that Gregorius will be out six weeks.
An MRI on Sunday in Los Angeles revealed Gregorius has a hematoma on the subscapularis muscle on his right, throwing shoulder.
