In a surprising development, the New York Yankees have placed catcher Austin Wells on the injured list due to cervical headaches, which he may have been dealing with for some time. This season has been challenging for the 26-year-old, who has recorded a disappointing .533 OPS, the lowest among regular players on the team. To fill the gap left by Wells, the Yankees have recalled J.C. Escarra from the minor leagues, just a day after he was sent down in favor of Ali Sánchez. Sánchez is expected to handle the majority of the catching duties, potentially sharing time with Escarra, who has also struggled this season, batting only .177 in 62 at-bats. The Yankees may look to bolster their catching position before the trade deadline, although midseason trades for catchers are rare. As the team navigates these injuries and performance issues, fans are hopeful for Wells' swift recovery from his painful diagnosis.
