Brett Gardner is expected to be back tonight when the New
York Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium. The offense struggled
to score over the weekend against the Kansas City Royals getting shut out twice
while Gardner missed two games with a strained muscle in his stomach. Last time
this flared up Gardner only missed one game with the injury but this time he
has had at least three days of rest, maybe that will be enough to knock it out
for the rest of the season.
The Yankees sorely, no pun intended, need Gardner back in
the middle of that lineup and on the base paths as the team continues to
struggle at the plate. The Yankees playoff hopes dwindled to almost nothing
this weekend after losing two of three to the Royals so if they have any inkling
or miracle brewing it will have to include Brett Gardner for it to be a
reality.
Welcome back Brett, this team really needs you.
