New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells has been placed on the 10-day injured list due to ongoing headaches and pressure in his head. He reported these symptoms late Friday and is scheduled for an MRI to rule out serious issues, particularly in his neck. Wells believes the headaches are a result of cumulative stress from his recent games, stating, "When you’re in it every day, you don’t really realize." He has struggled at the plate this season and has decided to wear a hockey mask for added protection after consulting with another catcher. In his absence, Ali Sánchez made his Yankees debut on Sunday, although he did not record a hit. Manager Aaron Boone mentioned that Jasson Domínguez, who is recovering from an AC joint sprain, may return during the upcoming road trip. The Yankees are also considering positional adjustments due to Aaron Judge's expected absence for two-plus months due to a stress fracture in his rib.
