The New York Yankees have been battling obstacles in their outfield as they navigate the 2023 season. In a recent update, Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided crucial information about the team’s injury concerns, highlighting the absence of one player and the uncertainty surrounding another.
In unfortunate news, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reported that Boone confirmed outfielder Greg Allen will be sidelined for an extended period. Allen has been diagnosed with a strain in his right hip flexor, an injury that will keep him out of action for approximately 6-to-8 weeks. As a result, Allen has been placed on the 10-day injured list, with the possibility of being transferred to the 60-day IL to free up a roster spot.
Allen’s absence will undeniably impact the team’s offensive production, and the team anticipates his return in early August.
Outfield uncertainty over Bader’s potential return
Meanwhile, there is uncertainty surrounding the potential return of Harrison Bader. Manager Aaron Boone expressed concern about Bader’s availability to rejoin the team next week. The team closely monitors his progress and consults with medical staff to make an informed decision. Bader’s presence and skills in the outfield are highly valued, and the Yankees hope for his prompt recovery.
With Allen’s prolonged absence and Bader’s uncertain return, the Yankees must adapt and rely on other outfield options. Manager Boone and the coaching staff will adjust to maintain the team’s competitive edge. Injuries are an unfortunate part of the game, but the Yankees have depth and talent within their roster to weather this storm until both players are ready to contribute again.
Yankees fans and the team will anxiously await further updates on Allen’s progress and Bader’s potential return next week. The Yankees prioritize their players’ long-term health and well-being while striving to remain competitive in the league. As the situation progresses, the team will provide timely updates to ensure they make informed decisions that benefit both players and the team’s overall performance.

This is rediculous. All these millionaires always hurt! My God! Stanton runs to first base and ends up disabled! The Yankees more than anyone!
Bader is injury prone an Allen wasn’t worth the effort. Should have signed Calhoun.
Time to get rid of the trainers. This has been going on for to many years
