Yankees Win, but Lose Another Player



For Yankees, a 14th Win and a 13th Player on the I.L.: Clint Frazier



ANAHEIM, Calif. — On multi day when the Yankees respected the arrival of a key player from the harmed rundown, another basically had his spot, proceeding with the group's apparently interminable stream of wounds.

The power-hitting catcher Gary Sanchez turned out to be just the second Yankee to make it once more from an I.L. spell so far this season. Despite the fact that he struck out multiple times and made a handling mistake on Wednesday, the drained Yankees returned to beat the Los Angeles Blessed messengers, 6-5, for their 6th successive triumph.

After the amusement, Supervisor Aaron Boone reported that outfielder Clint Frazier, who was given an open door after wounds to other people and had turned out to be one of the group's best hitters, was made a beeline for the I.L. on Thursday with a harmed lower leg. Boone said that he was vague on the definite analysis, yet that an attractive reverberation imaging examination uncovered that Frazier had endured a fractional tear — at the end of the day, a sprain — in the left lower leg he bent while sliding back to a respectable halfway point in Monday's crazy triumph.

This will expedite the Yankees' number of players the I.L. back up to a noteworthy group driving 13. An incredible 15 distinct players have been on the I.L. this year; just the beginning pitcher C. C. Sabathia and Sanchez have returned.

"Dang, that is extremely intense, yet you simply need to continue pushing ahead," Sanchez said in Spanish about his swapping spots with Frazier. "You need to continue playing. We can't surrender. I came back from the I.L., struck out multiple times despite everything we won. That is what's significant."

Despite the fact that the Yankees (14-10) shied far from giving a timetable to the star right defender Aaron Judge's arrival, Boone gave one for Frazier, 24. He said the uplifting news was that the group felt Frazier's nonappearance could be between the base of 10 days or two weeks.

"We don't feel like it's a long thing," Boone said. Frazier "particularly feels like he can play or is near playing, however the M.R.I. sufficiently uncovered in there."

Just the day preceding, Frazier talked hopefully about his lower leg damage, portraying Tuesday's nonattendance from the beginning lineup as preparatory. He had missed the greater part of last season with a blackout so he was excited to be sound and playing each day. Also, entering Tuesday's diversion, Frazier, who was in Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre when the season started, drove the Yankees with six grand slams and 17 runs batted in. (First baseman Luke Voit outperformed him with two grand slams in Tuesday's amusement and now has seven homers and 18 R.B.I.)

Frazier, nonetheless, conceded then that he felt some torment in his lower leg. However, he indicated his capacity to play two additional innings on Monday, running in the outfield and on the basepaths, as positive signs that he could go on. He said he additionally finished the lower leg versatility tests given to him by the Yankees' preparation staff.

"The I.L. is excessively full, and I'm not endeavoring to join that party," he said before Tuesday's amusement.

At the point when Frazier was out of the beginning lineup on Wednesday for a second in a row day, Boone said it was on the grounds that there was beat up wounding and swelling in Frazier's lower leg. While a specialist didn't feel Frazier required any imaging after the underlying damage, Boone stated, the Yankees chose Frazier ought to get a M.R.I. on Wednesday due to the staining.

Ordinarily buoyant and talkative, Frazier declined to talk with correspondents after the amusement. The Yankees conquered a harsh begin by Sabathia, who is three strikeouts shy of 3,000 for his vocation, because of forceful pitching from help pitchers Jonathan Loaisiga and Aroldis Chapman, intense at-bats in the later innings against the sputtering Heavenly attendants' pitching staff and an approval R.B.I. single by D.J. LeMahieu in the highest point of the ninth. Four of the Yankees' six runs originated from players who weren't on the significant alliance opening day program.

"This has been mind boggling watching this bundle of folks and their dirt," Sabathia said.

Prior in the day, Boone went through his standard rundown of updates on the Yankees' many harmed players. While focus defender Aaron Hicks (back) has advanced to running, tossing and swinging, shortstop Troy Tulowitzki (calf strain) and third baseman Miguel Andujar (labral tear) are further along and may confront pitching soon at the group's spring preparing office in Tampa, Fla.

The most concerning disclosure from Boone was about a misfortune with the slugging outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, who arrived on the I.L. toward the beginning of April with a left biceps strain. Boone said on Wednesday that Stanton's biceps infirmity had recuperated yet that there was a "lingering" issue with his left shoulder that justified a cortisone shot two days prior. Stanton will rest and stay in Southern California for a couple of days to work with the general population who assisted with his past recoveries.

So while the Yankees were at that point excitedly anticipating the arrival of a few harmed players, another — Frazier — joined their positions.

"Another open door for another person," Boone stated, indicating Tyler Swim, an infielder who can play the outfield and was dealing with left field in Frazier's ongoing nonappearance. Boone proceeded, "We got a great deal of good players in here that are fit for completing this thing."
