The Yanks have not one but multiple players serving time on the injured list right now. The first and foremost name on the list is of the captain Aaron Judge, who went on the injured list for the second time this season. Aside from him, the names that are concerning the most are of pitchers Nestor Cortes Jr. and Carlos Rodon. The latter signed in the offseason and is yet to throw wearing pinstripes. However, these are the only three of the many names recuperating right now.?
Off related to the Yanks, Fireside Yankees posted on their Twitter handle that a total of $88,360,000 worth of players are benched because of their injuries sustaining them. Out of this $88 million, Judge, Rodon, and Cortes Jr. together makeup over $70,000,000. As the post told the fans about this flabbergasting statistic, it captioned it saying, “The rich injured list #NYY.”?

Notably, the fans are asking for some big changes in the general manager and manager department. Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone have been in the organization for far too long without any major victories to their name. And this hasn’t gone unnoticed by the fans indeed.?
