Yankees outfielder Andrew Benintendi has a broken bone in his right wrist that will need surgery, but manager Aaron Boone said he didn’t know whether it was a season-ending injury.
Andrew Benintendi has a fractured hamate bone and will need surgery, but New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is hopeful that it will not be a season-ending injury for the outfielder.
Boone revealed after the Yankees’ 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Sunday that Benintendi had broken the hook of the hamate bone. Benintendi was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with right wrist inflammation after injuring it on a swing and miss during Friday night’s game at Tropicana Field
Benintendi had undergone further testing after X-rays and an MRI had not revealed the source of the injury. But there was still some confusion stemming from the diagnosis, since Benintendi underwent surgery to have the hamate bone in his right hand removed before his freshman year in college.
