Yankees Place Didi Gregorius On 10-Day DL

By Jeff Todd | August 21, 2018 at 11:25am CDT

The Yankees announced today that they have placed shortstop Didi Gregorius on the 10-day disabled list. He’ll be replaced for the time being by first baseman Luke Voit.

Gregorius has been diagnosed with a heel contusion. He suffered the injury in a collision at first base on Sunday. It’s still not clear how long Gregorious will be sidelined, though the fact that the team waited to make the placement at least indicates some hope that it won’t be a terribly significant absence.

The Yanks are already going without a few of their core players, though it’s not likely to matter much in the ultimate standings. With a nine-game void in the division, but also a hefty Wild Card cushion, the New York club seems destined for a play-in game.

Nevertheless, it’s hardly a roster situation the Yankees would prefer to deal with at this stage of the season. Adding Voit will bring another offensive asset to the majors, though it leaves the defensive array looking even more stretched.

The plan seems to be for Gleyber Torres to step in at shortstop, with Neil Walker moving to his accustomed second base, per a recent report from Dan Martin of the New York Post. That’ll leave a hole in the outfield. Certainly, the Yanks could make do with existing players, though the appeal of an outside addition seems to be on the rise as well.

      “Yankees should sign Machado this winter” couple of quick questions..why is that dreaded?
      Why do you think DD being on the DL would spur this?

        Agree. I don’t think a heel contusion that puts him on the shelf for two weeks at most will change whether or not they sign machado.

        It’s dreaded because theres been all kinds of talk regarding Machado going to the yanks it was even reported that he would prefer to sign with ny this offseason and they don’t need machado when they’ve got a stellar shortstop in didi. There’s a lot of fans out there who seemed to want him and talked about it when he was slumping and him going to the dL is a just another reason for the machado lovers to hate on didi

          Machado is an excellent player. To not want him would be foolish. I’d tell him he’s gotta play 3rd though. And let Andujar rotate between LF and DH with Stanton. He is utterly abysmal at the hot corner but my goodness can he swing the stick

          If they’re actually serious about signing Manny then Andujar is probably traded for pitching. There’s just no way that dude should get anywhere near the outfield, can you imagine his throws to the cutoff.

          I mean he’s a glorified DH. Maybe try him at 1st? Bird still with a chance to be the word there for now

          If you’ve never had a concussion, I wouldn’t expect someone to understand the lingering effects. For example, you get distracted by light reflections because it causes confusion.. Sometimes guys go back too soon, like Francisco Cervelli. He probably shouldn’t have, but when you see this, you have an exception that everyone will be the same. When I had one, I was out of work for two weeks.

    Talk about another step down on offense. Torres has been laughably bad in the second half and Walker has been garbage all year. They may make that WC game, but are hardly locks to win it against Houston or Oakland.

      Torres needs to adjust now that pitchers are throwing to him differently. And he will with his talent. He’s still having a very good rookie year. In the long run, I’m more concerned with Andujar who doesn’t take a BB and hasn’t made improvements with his defense.

      Torres has been playing better as of late. But granted I’d look good against Blue Jay pitching

    Not so sure I’d say their Wild Card cushion is “hefty”—especially with Houston, Oakland and Seattle all quite good and the Yanks quite banged up.

    Anyone else think the Yankees would be better off trading for Miguel Sano?

    Yeah Machado is better, but dropping +250 mil on a SS won’t fill the gaps in the rotation and at 1st.
