Though the Yankees captain made a brilliant return on the plate and the field contributed to many wins, another injury has put him out of the playing. The Pinstripes star injured his toe while taking a catch against the Dodgers. Everyone thought it was a minor injury but later found it a ligament tear. Most recently, the Yankees captain gave a confident update on his return to the season.
