Good News For Greg Bird
6 years agoNew York Yankees first baseman Greg Bird was relieved to find out that X-rays and a CT scan on his right elbow came back clean on Friday. Bird was hit by a pitch on his right elbow in a spring game on Wednesday. He did not swing or take ground balls on Friday, but he expects to return to the lineup on Saturday. The 26-year-old missed all of 2016 after right labrum surgery and also injured his right ankle in spring training of 2017. Bird had a bone spur removed from his right ankle last year and has been dogged by injuries in his time with the Yanks. When healthy, he'll have to compete for playing time with Luke Voit.
