Yankeees’ Paul Goldschmidt may land on injured list with right knee sprain
NY Post
A seemingly ideal spot for Paul Goldschmidt to pinch hit for Austin Wells against a lefty reliever in the seventh inning came and went Wednesday night, and Aaron Boone offered a reason afterward.
Goldschmidt was unavailable to play due to what the team called a low-grade sprain of the right knee suffered while fielding a pop-up in foul territory the previous night.
Boone said after a 4-1 loss to the Twins that a stint on the injured list is a possibility for the veteran first baseman, but Goldschmidt hopes the inflammation will subside in the coming days.
“I felt like I could continue to play, which I did, but I had it checked out today and hopefully we’ll be good to go,” Goldschmidt said. “There’s a chance, but I don’t think it’s anything long term. It even could be short term as far as a day or two.”
Wells struck out against lefty reliever Kody Funderburk with a runner on third for the final out in the seventh.
With Giancarlo Stanton making his third consecutive start in right field, a healthy but slumping Jasson Domínguez essentially has become the odd man out in the Yankees outfield picture.

Suddenly, someone had hit a rewind button and everyone had been transported back seven months. It was early spring instead of late fall, it was broiling hot outside the arena walls and not freezing cold. Everyone was back at TD Garden. There were 19,156 frenzied fans on their feet begging for blood, poised for the kill.
