Yankees News: Troy Tulowitzki Suffers Calf Injury Diagnosed as Strain vs. Tigers

New York Yankees shortstop Troy Tulowitzki suffered a calf strain during Wednesday's game versus the Detroit Tigers, according to Bob Nightengale ofย USA Today.

Per that report,ย Tulowitzki was undergoing an MRI on his injured calf.

It's yet another injury for the banged-up Yankees, who were already without starting shortstopย Didi Gregorius, among others:

Ifย Tulowitzkiย is forced to miss significant time, Gleyber Torres will likely be forced to slide over to shortstop, with Tyler Wade then coming into the lineup at second base. The team would likely dip into its farm system for reserves as well:

It's been a roughย start for the Yankees from a roster perspective, though the team came into Wednesday 2-3. Treading water during their current injury woes will be crucial, though the defending champion Boston Red Sox have struggled as well, coming into Wednesday 1-5.

As Forย Tulowitzki, he's had a lukewarm start to the 2019 campaign, hitting .200 with a homer, an RBI and two walks. His loss would be felt for a Yankees team growing thinner by the day, however.
