  1. From Yankees.com;

    RHP Fernando Cruz
    Injury: Left oblique strain
    IL date: June 30
    Expected return: August
    Status: Underwent an MRI exam on June 30 in New York that revealed a “high grade” strain, according to manager Aaron Boone, who added “It’s going to be a while” before Cruz returns. (updated July 1)

    There is NO fucking way he’s coming back in fucking August. Mid-September if you’re LUCKY.

    1. Please tell me everyone got this (but didn’t think it was funny enough)!

  2. It’s nice Boonie finally figured out he should play his good defenders where they defend good just as soon as that Athletic article came out ripping him to pieces over it.

  3. I legit wonder whether we’ll see Escarra get a start at third. His bat is pretty decent (91 OPS+ in a small sample size), and with Rice in the mix behind the plate, Escarra’s role is a bit ill-defined at the moment.

    He’s only played two innings at the hot corner (one in two different games), but it might be worth a shot.

    Joe Torre, Todd Zeile, IKF, and even Josh Donaldson, a number of players have moved from catcher to third.

    1. Russell Martin was also used at third a number of times for the Dodgers.

      Brandon Inge was a catcher early in his career before he became a full-time third baseman.

      Try it, you cowards!

    1. Yankees DFA LeMahieu.

      It was only a matter of time once they determined he couldn’t play third base, and wouldn’t be playing second. If he’s only available to play second base, and he won’t be playing that, what are you even doing?

      The annoying thing is that I think he could stick somewhere else as a second baseman. That will piss the shit out of me if he ends up in, like, fucking Toronto or some shit.

      I though they’d wait until they called up Candelario (or acquired another third baseman).

    1. Any self-respecting ownership group would rather be on the hook for Bobby Bonilla’s contract. It’s better value going forward than Hicks or LeMahieu. And it’s a drop in the bucket compared to what can be made investing with Bernie Madoff.
