The Yankees endured a season in which they saw 30 different players head to the injured list for a record 2,433 days lost, and the man in charge of changing that reality, Eric Cressey, has begun his work in his new role.
Cressey, officially named by the team as director of player health and performance on Tuesday, will head to Tampa on Wednesday for the first of five visits to the Yankees’ complex before the start of the regular season.
“We’re in the process of overhauling how we assess players,’’ Cressey said during a conference call.
