Yankees place Austin Wells on injured list due to cervical headaches
The New York Yankees placed catcher Austin Wells on the injured list due to cervical headaches, a move that could weaken the lineup ahead of upcoming games. Wells has struggled this season, batting below.
300 since the start of the campaign. His absence joins Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on the IL, further depleting the Yankees' offensive firepower.
Manager Aaron Boone said the club will rely on backup catcher Mike Napoli to fill the void for the next series. The team will monitor Wells' recovery closely, hoping for a swift return to the roster.
