Yankees Put Wells on 10-Day IL With Cervical Headaches, Recalling Escarra
New York placed catcher Austin Wells on the 10-day injured list with cervical headaches and recalled J.C. Escarra to take his spot; Wells will undergo further testing while Ali Sanchez handles catching duties and Escarra and Sanchez form a platoon behind the plate. Wells has slashed .166 with four homers this season and struggles against left-handed pitching, though his defense remains a strength.
