Luke Voit

A significant portion of the Yankees’ offensive issues have been related to underperformance. The same can’t be said about first base where the issue has been Luke Voit’s absence. “Our first base position has been the worst in baseball, and that’s on me not being able to be there,” the...

The New York Yankees might’ve walked away with a victory on Tuesday against the Toronto Blue Jays, but they are still struggling to find their form as they sit just two games above .500. The team is currently eight games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East and...

Recently, the Yankees have been extremely forthcoming about the team being flat-out bad. Seemingly, every Aaron Boone press conference and soundbite includes some mention of frustration or the need to unlock the team. Players are self aware about the fact that they need to start winning games yesterday, today, and tomorrow, rather than framing it as something that will happen in the faraway future. General manager Brian Cashman, who expected to be lording over an American League powerhouse, said “we’ve been everything but”.

Voit (oblique) transferred his rehab assignment from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to Double-A Somerset on Tuesday. Voit will prepare to make his second rehab appearance at a new affiliate after he went 1-for-3 with an RBI double and a run scored while playing five innings at first base for the Triple-A club Sunday. The Yankees will likely want to see Voit play at least one or two nine-inning games in the field during his rehab assignment before most likely bringing him back from the injured list ahead of next week's series versus the Royals. Voit has been sidelined since May 25 with a Grade 2 oblique strain.

The New York Yankees could be getting an important piece back to their lineup soon. First baseman Luke Voit, who is currently on his second IL stint of the season after straining his oblique, is progressing towards a return. Voit began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday and...

In what’s been a sad reality for the New York Yankees, fan-favorite Luke Voit has been unable to stay healthy ever since arriving from the St. Louis Cardinals via trade back in 2018. Don’t get mad at us! We’re just telling you the facts. Out of a possible 284 games,...

Voit (oblique) will begin a rehab assignment Sunday that is expected to last about a week, Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reports. The first baseman has increased his activity of late, including taking more swings, as he works his way back from a Grade 2 oblique strain. He is set to get into a handful of minor-league contests before potentially rejoining the big club in about a week. Voit's return should provide a tangible boost to a Yankees team that has lost seven of its past 11 games.

Voit (oblique) could begin a rehab assignment as early as Sunday, Kristie Ackert of the New York Daily News reports. Voit has been sidelined with a Grade 2 oblique strain since May 26, but he recently increased his volume of swings and could return to game action in the minors in the near future. Manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that the 30-year-old could rejoin the Yankees after about a week of rehab games, per Marly Rivera of ESPN.com.

MINNEAPOLIS — Luke Voit is expected to begin a rehab stint on Tuesday, so his return to first base is not too far off. And while that’s good news for the Yankees, there’s no denying the continued issues the team is having at first base. Voit has played in just...

Voit (oblique) is increasing his volume of swings and could begin a rehab assignment next week, the Associated Press reports. Voit has been on the 10-day injured list since May 26 with a Grade 2 right oblique strain, but he appears to be progressing toward a return. He would likely need a few minor-league rehab games to get back up to speed, which puts his target date to rejoin the big club at sometime in late June. Voit has played in only 12 games this year as a result of this injury and knee surgery that delayed the start of his season.

Manager Aaron Boone mentioned June 15 as a potential date for Voit (oblique) to begin a rehab assignment, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports. Voit participated in some fielding work Friday and is continuing to progress toward a mid-June rehab assignment. The slugger, who was placed on the 10-day IL on May 26, will likely need to make multiple appearances in the minors before he's ready to rejoin the Yankees lineup. With all that being considered, he remains on track for a late-June return.

The New York Yankees emerged victorious over the Tampa Bay Rays on Wednesday evening, securing their second win in two days time. The Yankees had previously been on a four game losing streak, and overcoming Tampa in two consecutive contests is a great sign of momentum and positive growth.

Less than a week after Luke Voit landed on the injured list for the second time this season, the Yankees have a better idea of when the first baseman could return to the team. Voit was placed on the 10-day IL with a right oblique strain on May 26, just 12 games after he made his 2021 debut following left knee surgery this spring.
