Luke Voit News
New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) could start a rehab assignment on Sunday or Tuesday, per manager Aaron Boone. The Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have a scheduled off-day on Monday, so Voit will likely join the team either before or after for what will be around a week of rehab games, per Boone. It makes sense for the slugger to have a more lengthy assignment, considering he's already been injured this season. Voit has posted just a .530 OPS in 12 games this year, but he clubbed 22 homers during the shortened 2020 season.
New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) could begin his rehab assignment on June 15, per manager Aaron Boone. Voit hasn't played since May 25 with a Grade 2 oblique strain, though he has been able to run and take swings, perhaps progressing quicker than what was initially expected of him. It's worth noting that Voit might require a more lengthy slate of rehab games, considering he has already been sidelined once this season and considering the nature of oblique injuries. DJ LeMahieu and Chris Gittens should continue to hold down the fort at first until Voit returns.
New York Yankees first baseman Luke Voit (oblique) was able to take dry swings on Friday. Voit was placed on the injured list with a Grade 2 oblique strain, though he has built up his activity in recent days, as he was running on the field Thursday and then taking dry swings Friday. The slugging first baseman should remain sidelined for at least another 10 days or so, but it's a good sign that he's able to ramp up his activity without setback. The Yankees should continue to go with DJ LeMahieu as their primary first baseman moving forward.

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.
