Ahhh geeze... Thanks for the wakeup alert. I knew the game wasn't until Thursday, then old timers disease set in upon awakening.

Thanks Mel, I will ask Vic, Messiah (aka Old Timers disease Medic), for help/first-aid.

Unfortunately, this is certainly going to get washed out.

Yankees’ injury updates: Ron Marinaccio, Andrew Benintendi, Frankie Montas, DJ LeMahieu

Ron Marinaccio
Yankees rookie reliever Ron Marinaccio is among a contingent of injured players heading to work out at the team's player development complex in Tampa.

Reliever Ron Marinaccio, starting pitcher Frankie Montas and left fielder Andrew Benintendi are heading to the team’s player development complex in Tampa work out in the possibility all three could be activated for next round of the playoffs.

First, the Yankees need to beat the Guardians, whom they were slated to face in Game 2 of the American League Division Series on Friday afternoon at Yankee Stadium.

Marinaccio, dealing with a stress reaction in his left shin, was expected to face hitters in a live batting practice session, according to manager Aaron Boone.

Benintendi, recovering from a broken right hand, will try to rack up at-bats.
“He’s doing well,” Boone said.

Benintendi hit off a high velocity pitching machine at Yankees Stadium on Thursday with the game rained out. Boone said it wasn’t a lock that Benintendi would start over Oswaldo Cabrera if Beintendi returns for the AL Championship Series.

“We’ll see,” Boone said. “I don’t know where he’s at. How built up, how strong, if he’d be able to handle a full game (right away).”

Montas threw a bullpen session Wednesday and Boone said the right-hander could be able to give the Yankees a few innings if they make it to the next round.
"We’ll see how the next few days goes,” Boone said.

The Yankees provided more clarity on DJ LeMahieu’s toe injury.

A spokesman said LeMahieu is dealing with an injury to a ligament on the underside of his second right toe. The bone isn’t broken despite reports saying otherwise, the spokesman said. The injury may have been caused by LeMahieu compensating for a pre-existing injury to his right big toe, the spokesman added.

LeMahieu was expected to continue performing baseball activities with the Yankees. He’ll head to Cleveland with the team for Game 3 on Saturday.

 

[Messiah717]

Stanton 2 run shot and the Yanks with an early 2-0 lead.

 

[Messiah717]

Gimenez single cuts it to 2-1.

 

[Stepupstepan]

What play by Cortes. Saved two runs at least

 

[Messiah717]

Rosario homer ties it at 2.

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Will BaBoone leave Cortes in beyond the 5th, after the solo home run? The pitcher that only throws 5 innings is only a glorified long reliever.

Yanx 2
Generics 2

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Stanton 2 run shot and the Yanks with an early 2-0 lead.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Is what they’re going to get from Judge in the postseason? Lol

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Pitch #6 to Judge was clearly a BALL, called a Strike by the HP Ump!!!

 

[Messiah717]

Judge hasn't looked the same for a couple of weeks now. Needs to start trying to go the other way.

 

[yankeesince59]

Shit, I thought the game was tonight...2-2 going to the bottom of the 6th.

 

[mrmel29]

Cortes needed more length than 5 innings! This HP ump sucks ass like they all have all season. Judge struggling and back to getting balls at his ankles called strikes. And now we get to watch the 2022 version of sparky Anderson Captain Hook with Boone

 

[yankeesince59]

Needless to say, Donaldson, aside from his other shortcomings, also sucks on the base baths.

 

[Stepupstepan]

Cleveland the guardians of galaxy

 

[Mattingly23NY]

Johnny Lasagna on the mound in the 7th. IKF fields all 3 consecutive Outs!

 

[Stepupstepan]

So basically Judge is not even going to try.

 

[mrmel29]

Ok yanks, no one’s gone be upset if you score a couple of runs. Lets go

 

[mrmel29]

Come on Cabrera. Big clutch opportunity here. Take advantage.

 

[mrmel29]

Ugh. Swung at ball 4 kid. Now up to IKF

 

[yankeesince59]

"Home Run or bust" hitting approach = 14 Ks.

 

[yankeesince59]

Ugh. Swung at ball 4 kid. Now up to IKF

Higgy might just just come through here.

 

[mrmel29]

Pass the baton to higi with the bags loaded!

 

[yankeesince59]

Well, so much for that.

 

[mrmel29]

Higi hit it good just right at. The 3rd baseman. Nothing you can do about that
