Yankees Notes: Severino, Garcia, Gregorius, Voit

By Connor Byrne | August 2, 2019 at 9:57pm CDT

A few items on the Yankees, who defeated archrival Boston on Friday to increase their advantage in the American League East to 11 1/2 over the Red Sox and 7 1/2 above the Rays…

  • Injured right-hander Luis Severino is on track to begin throwing off a mound next Friday, manager Aaron Boone told James Wagner of the New York Times and other reporters. Severino has been out all season with shoulder and lat injuries, thus depriving the Yankees of their ace. Despite the Yankees’ resounding success as a team, their staff has been shaky without Severino, but general manager Brian Cashman was unable to make a deal to address it prior to the trade deadline. The eventual return of the 25-year-old Severino looks all the more crucial as a result, though he may not have enough time to build up his arm to work in his usual role when he comes back.
  • Like Severino, fellow righty Deivi Garcia could be a late-season reinforcement for the Yankees’ pitching staff. If the highly touted 20-year-old does make his major league debut this season, he’ll function as a reliever, according to Cashman (via Bryan Hoch of MLB.com). Garcia, a popular target of other clubs prior to the trade deadline, dominated at the Double-A level this season but has endured some difficulty since a a promotion to Triple-A ball three weeks ago. However, that isn’t particularly surprising for someone who was the youngest player in Triple-A when the Yankees moved him up to the level.
  • Shortstop Didi Gregorius is dealing with a knuckle issue, Wagner relays, and it’s not a sure thing he’ll avoid the injured list. Boone said Gregorius is “hopeful” he’ll stay off the IL, but the 29-year-old did miss the Yankees’ game Friday. With Gregorius down for at least one night, the Yankees had the luxury of plugging starting second baseman Gleyber Torres in at short and using infielder DJ LeMahieu at the keystone. They’ll likely continue with that setup if Gregorius needs an IL stint.
  • First baseman Luke Voit, whom the team placed on the IL with a sports hernia on Wednesday, should know in roughly a week whether he’ll need surgery, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com tweets. A surgical procedure would put Voit’s season at risk, which would be a terrible pre-playoff development for a New York club that has seen the 28-year-old carry his late-2018 breakout into this season. Voit has slashed .278/.392/.493 (135 wRC+) with 19 home runs in 416 plate appearances. Fortunately for the Yankees, they do boast impressive depth at first with LeMahieu, Edwin Encarnacion and minor leaguer Mike Ford in the fold.

    What’s the word on Stanton, Sanchez, and Betances? As amazing as this team has been this year, it’s scary to think how good this could be, hypothetically speaking, had they not had to endure so many injuries to key players.

        Imagine the Yankees without Tauchman, Maybin, German and Urshella.
        Severino’s spot was taken by German
        Miguel “ROY runner up” Andujar was replaced by Urshella
        Tauchman and Maybin have filled in for Stanton.
        Romine is giving them similar production at catcher… maybe a little better in the RBI department.

      Sanchez is overmuscled. People built like the Michelin Man, too thick and not flexible enough, are prone to muscle pulls.

      This winter, the Yanks should insist on Sanchez taking Yoga.

    It’s been reported that the Sox have been cheating with various camera technologies in their dugout. Stealing signs, the hitter knowing exactly what’s coming. This start at Yankee Stadium sure gives some backing to those allegations. The Sox offense looked like a totally different animal away from Fenway. Let’s see how the rest of this series plays out. Paxton didn’t get this good against the Sox in a week.

        A Major league scout said it appeared very likely that signs were stolen as the Sox were on every pitch in Fenway. I believe it

      Yes, because you score 19 runs when you cheat and score 2 runs when you don’t. That’s why no one else cheats. Because they’d rather score 2 runs and hope they win with pitching and defense, the way that champions win.

        Not saying they are in fact cheating, but my guess would be they only have access to the technology to do so at Fenway.

      If that was the case, then why are the Sox below .500 playing at home this year.

      The Yanks starters had a historically bad week, this had nothing to do with stealing signs.

    This makes total sense. 19 runs vs 2 with no verifiable evidence of cheating. I’m sold

      Lifelong Yankee fan here, but I don’t think the Sox are cheating. What they are doing is not illegal. They (including their Manager) are very good at gathering intel and detecting pitchers who tip their pitches. This is very old school baseball,. The Yankees actually turned the tables on Boston in the London Series, which led to Cora making the odd comment about Carlos Beltran coming to work for NY (Beltran was in HOU when Cora was bench coach). It also would not surprise me if Tanaka’s surprise addition to the All Star team was partly to study him working with Sanchez in a more friendly environment.

    Why didn’t the Yanks go get Smoak? The Jays have literally gave players away or paid them to play elsewhere all year.
