The news about New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner's injured wrist hasn't gotten any better.
Gardner suffered a bone bruise to wrist while bracing himself against the wall to catch a fly ball on Oct. 6 against the Houston Astros, and the injury is still limiting him, according to GM Brian Cashman.
“I know he feels good, we are taking it slow,’’ Cashman said, via the New York Post. “Spring training is long enough, we don’t have to be rushing. The CT scan showed a bone bruise. The last [CT scan] showed significant improvement. It’s going in the right direction. At this point, taking the safe route.’’
Hitting coach Alan Cockrell also thinks that Gardner may have injured his wrist dating back to the second half of last year. Gardner finished the season hitting .259, but batted .302 in the first half of the season on his way to an appearance in the All-Star Game. However, he hit just .206 afterward.
Gardner added 16 home runs and 66 RBI's last season.
