Injury
The catcher joins Judge and Stanton on a depleted roster heading into the All-Star break.
Austin Wells was placed on the injured list with cervical headaches, joining Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton in the Yankees' injury wing. Wells, 26, has appeared in 25 games this season with a 15-74 line and 3 home runs. The move deepens New York's catcher depth concerns at midseason.
The cervical diagnosis adds a new injury type to the Yankees' list and removes Wells from daily availability. Judge (11 years in the majors, 32 GP, 12 HR to date) and Stanton remain sidelined as well, leaving the roster significantly thinner heading into June.
