News broke at the end of game one of the New York Yankees doubleheader against Detroit that Edwin Encarnacion and JA Happ will be returning to New York with injuries.
Edwin Encarnacion had an oblique issue that he felt early in the game but didn’t feel it in his swing. He must not of been kidding since he homered his first time up.
JA Happ started the first game and left after four and two thirds innings. He pitched fair, giving up two runs off seven hits. He has left biceps tendinitis, and it has bothered him for a few starts now. They decided that he was good to pitch on Thursday, and was removed from the game due to pitch count.
Both injuries don’t seem too serious and it’s the right time to get everything fixed up. Both players should be good to go once the playoffs roll around.
