3 years agoNew York Yankees first baseman Chris Gittens (ankle) was placed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained right ankle Sunday. Gittens has been bitten by the injury bug during his latest stint with the Yankees, missing three games due to a sore Achilles, then rolling his ankle after stepping on a bat. He'll likely miss the minimum amount of time, though it's another blow to the Yankees' first base depth, a position where they've gotten virtually zero production this season. DJ LeMahieu should be expected to handle most of the starts at first base with Gittens sidelined.--Tim Capurso
