Yankees infielder Oswald Peraza has been diagnosed with a subscapularis strain in his right shoulder, manager Aaron Boone told MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch and other reporters this morning. Peraza will be shut down for the next 6-8 weeks for further evaluation.
Peraza recently missed 10 days of Spring Training due to discomfort in his shoulder, and returned to action to play in two games earlier this week before he was sidelined again due to continued soreness. The infielder received an MRI and other tests over the last two days, and the unfortunate result means that Peraza will now miss a decent chunk of the season. In the best-case scenario that Peraza is able to return to baseball activity in just six weeks, he’ll still need to properly ramp up and make up for his lost spring prep time, so late May might be the most optimistic possible recovery timeline.
More to come….
