 it's another tough blow for bird who has fought significant health woes over the last few years after bursting onto the scene in the Bronx during the stretch run of the 2015 season. Earlier today Aaron Boone was asked when birds suffered this new injury. I'm not sure exactly I would say the Saturday game when Voight was down birdie had come in for some treatment and was a little bit sore and I almost scratched him that day but so he was good to go got through that game we noticed him limping a little bit and then Sunday yes or Sunday Sunday's game when he didn't play he was he was available as a pinch hitter but then midway late later part of the game I had kind of gotten word that he really couldn't couldn't do much and so you know that's when we got the the test going obviously yesterday and it revealed what it what it was so you know obviously he'll be down for a little bit and what's your reaction when you just hear another player is injured and heading to the injured list um you gotta roll with it um I mean yeah I I'm sure you guys are a little sick of me saying next man up but it truly is the case I mean we we got to get guys well and get them right and get them the proper treatment to try and get them back as quickly as possible but it's an opportunity um for somebody else to come up and have a chance to impact our club and and Mike Ford coming up today um is off to a great start in in triple a a guy that we think we we know can really hit the ball and I think has a chance to really impact us this week so it's it's an opportunity for someone else to to to step up here and it contributes to us winning games do you have a time frame with bird he's going to be in the boot for probably 10 days to two weeks and then kind of be evaluated you know I would I would think it's something that's probably at least a month but um we'll kind of have a better idea once he's out of that boot and and kind of re-examine with the doctor in probably 10 days two weeks Bruce Aaron Yankees Red Sox with a twist with both teams struggling a bit how do you view the rivalry match up tonight and tomorrow I view it as you know the match up and you know we got to do all we can to to go in with the right game plan the right frame of mind uh and try and um you know obviously Chris Sale going um always always tough on us so I really it's kind of how I look at is very surgical and how we uh are going to approach and game plan and get ready for their lineup with packs you know how we're going to defend guys things like that that's I'm kind of full-fledged dove into that you know I don't really get caught up in the you know what it all means I certainly understand it um but you know I'm doing everything I can to get us in the right place to go out and get a W
