New York Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon has been placed on the 10-day injured list (IL) due to a left thumb sprain, the team announced Wednesday. The injury occurred during the Yankees’ game against the Baltimore Orioles while McMahon was sliding into second base.
McMahon was having a productive month of August, hitting .268 with a .744 OPS before the injury. The team has not yet announced a corresponding roster move. The 10-day IL stint suggests the Yankees believe the injury requires more than a minimal amount of recovery time, though the severity hasn’t been specified.
The injury impacts the Yankees’ lineup, removing a key offensive contributor. While on the IL, the team will need to adjust its strategy and potentially rely on other players to fill the void at third base.
