If Tulowitzki 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 rough 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 For 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.
