The New York Yankees place third baseman Ryan McMahon on the 10-day injured list with a left thumb sprain after he exits a game against the Baltimore Orioles early on Wednesday. Multiple reports say the team moves him to the IL ahead of upcoming games versus the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Yankees specify the injury as a grade 2 left thumb sprain. One report notes McMahon injured the thumb while sliding into second base, and another says he expects to miss the minimum amount of time. One outlet also frames the move as part of a broader injury-heavy stretch for New York, where everyday players have continued to miss time.
While the sources agree on the placement and the general timing, they vary slightly in emphasis—some focus on McMahon’s expected recovery timeline, while others highlight the context of the Yankees’ crowded injury situation heading into a key series.
