If the New York Yankees tell you an injury is nagging, minor, or nothing to worry about, do not believe them.<\/p>\n

After returning for two games and testing the tight pinching in his throwing shoulder,\u00a0shortstop\/second baseman Oswald Peraza\u00a0has finally been sent for tests to determine the severity of the issue. Say what you will about the chronically injured Yankees, but they almost\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0send for tests until the exact moment it’s already too late\/an injury has been played on for two games. Gotta commend them on that. They continue to misunderstand what a test is for.<\/p>\n

\"Oswald<\/p>\n

Peraza has struggled this spring at the plate, going hitless in a tiny seven at-bat sample size in an attempt to stake claim to a bench spot with the Yankees. Now, his Opening Day roster spot — already doubted, given the gap between his performance in Scranton and the bigs — is likely to be given to someone else.<\/p>\n

Luckily,\u00a0The Athletic was way ahead of the curve\u00a0on this one.\u00a0If the Yankees were willing to pay\u00a0Kik\u00e9 Hern\u00e1ndez $4 million before Peraza’s injury, they\u00a0have<\/em>\u00a0to be willing to pay Donovan Solano\u00a0a similar amount after the youngster was sent for imaging.<\/p>\n

Neglecting the bench and using it as a haven for struggling prospects\/total flyers like they did in 2023 would be a miscalculation by the Yankees. Trent Grisham is a start. An experienced and versatile backup like Solano would be a great next step, especially with Peraza both compromised and scuffling.<\/p>\n

Whether Peraza is Gleyber Torres’ heir apparent or simply another Yankees prospect who should probably have been included in a Marlins trade is a discussion for another day. Severity aside, the fact that the Yankees sat through another injury, then rushed a player back too soon rather than diagnose his inner workings, has cost them roster clarity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
