With the Yankees facing their first left-handed starter of the season in Nestor Cortes when they resumed their series against the Brewers, manager Aaron Boone gave his Game 1 lineup an overhaul.
Yankees fans are hoping the team won't be without Paul Goldschmidt for an extended period of time as Aaron Boone discusses his return.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone echoed the sentiment, saying the plan was already for Goldschmidt to have Tuesday off and that he expects him back in the lineup on Wednesday. Asked about his concern, Goldschmidt didn't hesitate to say, "Zero."
Paul Goldschmidt said his back feels “100 percent, or very, very close to it,” one day after participating in live batting practice drills at George M. Steinbrenner Field, and the veteran first baseman continues to believe he will be ready for Opening Day.
Injuries have piled up for the New York Yankees this spring. The starting rotation has been decimated while Giancaro Stanton and DJ LeMahieu have been sidelined as well. Then, on Monday, Paul Goldschmidt was forced from a spring training game with a back injury.
