TAMPA – Luke Voit suffered a brief shock over the third of the Yankees’ 6-1 win over the Phillies at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, Fla. After being scratched on Tuesday due to a sore right knee, the DH tried to advance to third place on Clint Frazier’s volleyball to the left, but was thrown out by Andrew McCutchen. He apparently walked ginger off the field, but he stayed in the game and looked like a ground ball later in the game.
“He feels good,” Aaron Boone said. ‘Not a very clever recording from second. He really just wanted to test it and feel that he feels good and say that he feels good [afterwards]. Hopefully we have a better decision in the regular season. ”
Voit will not play against the Tigers on Friday.
While Giancarlo Stanton looked good on the board, Boone said there were no plans yet to try him out in the outfield, though he did not rule out the possibility.
“I have nothing on the schedule,” the manager said. “We want him to find his workload and routine on the board.”
Jay Bruce has now started playing at first base, left and right field and has impressed Boone everywhere.
“At this point, we see everything we could hope for,” Boone said. ‘From the offensive side, but [also] with the defensive versatility and what we think is the ability to play first. ”
