Luke Voit News
The New York Yankees transferred first baseman Luke Voit (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day injured list on Sunday. He is dealing with left knee inflammation and will officially not be available for the postseason now, no matter how deep the Yankees go. The 30-year-old struggled to stay healthy this year and was inconsistent when active. Over 68 games, he slashed .239/.328/.437 with 11 home runs, 35 RBI and 26 runs.
The New York Yankees have placed first baseman Luke Voit (knee) on the 10-day injured list Thursday, according to the team. Voit experienced left knee inflammation during Wednesday's game and was taken out early as a precaution. He was expected to avoid an IL stint, which clearly isn't the case. Voit has had a disappointing year and hasn't been able to replicate the power stroke he found last season. During an injury-filled campaign, he's slashing .239/.328/.437 with 11 HRs over 68 games. With the season coming to a close, he won't return and isn't a guarantee to appear in the playoffs. The Yankees have recalled right-hander Albert Abreu in a corresponding move.
New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (knee) is expected to be OK after appearing to be in discomfort during the seventh inning after his pinch-hit appearance on Wednesday, according to manager Aaron Boone. Voit was replaced by utility man Tyler Wade in the bottom of the seventh inning for defensive purposes and was not going to be deployed in the field, regardless. Voit has been glued to the Yankees bench now that first baseman Anthony Rizzo has been healthy, so the injury scare probably won't affect his playing time all that much. Voit should remain on waivers as the 2021 campaign comes to a close.

New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit utilized a shortened season to make a lengthy statement of his offensive prowess. The 2020 season reinvigorated those that were let down by a 2019 performance that didn't resemble the success he had the year prior. Voit's 22 homers not only led the league, but they were the most of his career. It is true that his Max Exit Velo (111.7 mph), Barrel (13.1%), and Hard Hit (40%) rates were inferior to 2019, but it was the increase in Launch Angle (15.2 degrees) that made difference. Voit also made other improvements at the plate with career-bests in Swinging Strike (13.3%) and Z-Contact (83%) rates. 2021 looks like an opportunity for Voit to reaffirm his place as a premium power bat in the league, assuming he maintains a similar launch angle. To get a power-hitting first baseman that possesses a place in the top third of a dynamic Yankees' lineup, you'll have to call his name near pick 60. Voit will be worth it.
