Sir Didi’s surgery went as expected but the recovery is long, leaving Gregorius unable to play for the Yankees until around June of next season — at the earliest.
This also leaves the Yanks without their unofficial captain, as the club is now in need of someone to pick up the 89 runs, 86 RBI and 27 HR — as well as a stellar glove Gregorius offered. Although there are many roads to take in attempting to find a solution, the first is to look internally.
The Yankees bench, as of now, has two infielders awaiting a shot to start some games: Tyler Wade and Ronald Torreyes.
