Yankees place third baseman Ryan McMahon on 10-day injured list with sprained left thumb
New York Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon was placed on the 10-day injured list on Friday due to a Grade 2 sprain in his left thumb. McMahon stated he would miss only the minimum amount of time from his absence. The injury occurred during Wednesday's game against Baltimore when McMahon attempted to stretch a single into a double and jammed his thumb.
Manager Aaron Boone expressed relief that the injury was not more severe, ruling out surgery as a possibility. McMahon, currently batting .218 with 10 home runs and 32 RBIs in 108 games, acknowledged feeling somewhat compromised on the field but felt otherwise fine. To fill McMahon's roster spot, Max Schuemann was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre.
Meanwhile, starting pitcher Jerome Fried, who was also placed on the injured list, remains hopeful for a return when eligible next week following a 15-day stint on the IL. Fried's injury history includes a 57-game absence from May to July 2023.
