Granderson Out 10 Weeks with Broken Forearm

Brutal news this afternoon out of Yankees camp.​

According to Jack Curry of the YES Network, outfielder Curtis Granderson has been diagnosed with a fractured right forearm and will need 10 weeks of rest and rehab. Which means he probably won’t be ready for action until late April or early May.​

Granderson suffered the injury when he was plunked by the Blue Jays’ J.A. Happ in the second inning of Sunday’s Grapefruit League game. It was originally labeled as a bruise, but X-rays showed otherwise.​

Matt Diaz and Juan Rivera are the internal options to replace Granderson, though the Yankees could opt to upgrade via trade or free agent signing. Scott Podsednik, Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu are available.​

Brett Gardner

is now certain to open the 2013 season as the Yankees’ starting center fielder.​

Yanks are going to have to make a trade as those FA options are terrible. I'm sure some retarded Yankee fans are hoping for an Abreu or Damon reunion but neither are the defensive type of outfielder they need to hold them over for the next 10 weeks.

Average age of the 2013 Yankees: Dead

Curtis has become a power hitter with a low batting average, his road split last year is very concerning and i believe he is becoming a product of his home ballpark.
