Two ferocious foes in the AL East who get a lot of competition against the baseball lines are managing injuries.
The New York Yankees just activated their centerfielder, Curtis Granderson, while the Red Sox put outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury back on the disabled list. The Boston Red Sox have performed significantly better not too long ago and they are an element once again against the baseball probabilities.
Granderson was exchanged from the Detroit Tigers in exchange for Phil Coke and Austin Jackson in December of last year and has performed for the Yankees since. He performed in the 2009 All Star Game.
Baseball lines regularly like the Yankees and the Red Sox. Boston was in sad shape a few weeks ago but they have performed significantly better of late even with their injury issues. Ellsbury has played in only nine games this season. The Red Sox star 2nd baseman, Dustin Pedroia has performed through his injury. Since he twisted his right knee on May 15th, he has not hit well. He was batting practically .300 before the injury. Ever since he got hurt he is batting below .200.
Pedroia has received numerous awards, including AL Rookie of the Year for 2007, and he has been voted into the AL All-Star squad.
The Yankees have had injury issues of their own that have affected their baseball probabilities. New York got centerfielder Curtis Granderson back not too long ago and he should certainly help their lineup. A groin injury has kept him out since early May. With his return, Brett Gardner can move back to left field and Nick Swisher to DH. Nick Johnson, the Yankees’ normal DH, went on the DL and it has been a rotating situation at designated hitter ever since.
The Yankees are still quite good offensively as they rank #1 in the league. Getting Granderson back into the lineup will help however as he is a player who can get on base, steal bases and hit for average. He is similar in some respects to Boston’s Jacoby Ellsbury who is out. The Red Sox have missed Ellsbury in their order this season. Boston has picked it up lately offensively but they still need Ellsbury in their lineup as he does several of the same things that Granderson does for the Yankees.
Ellsbury has been out practically entirely since April 11, when he crashed into Red Sox third baseman Adrian Beltre and wound up with hairline fractures to 4 of his ribs. He came back on May 22 but was put back on leave on May 28 when a doctor determined that his ribs needed more time to heal.
During the lengthy baseball season, injuries are always a concern for teams. It is certainly more tough to survive devoid of important players, however the Yankees and Red Sox have been doing it. {New York and Boston were expected to battle all season for the AL East title but thus far this season it has been Tampa Bay who has stolen the show.|So far this season it has been Tampa Bay who has stolen the show, although New York and Boston were expected to battle all season for the AL East title.
