The New York Yankees have had some tough injury luck during spring training, notably at the catcher position. They’ve already seen a number of players go down due to injury, starting with Ben Rortvedt, who was diagnosed with an aneurysm in his shoulder that was affecting his finger. Austin Wells, one of the team’s top prospects, is dealing with a broken rib, and Josh Breaux is fending off an elbow injury.
With Kyle Higashioka featuring with Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, the only starting-level catcher currently with the team is Jose Treviño. Unfortunately, Treviño is the latest catcher to sustain an injury, but the Yanks don’t anticipate it will keep him out beyond opening day.
