Hoping for the best for Dustin Fowler.. this almost felt as bad as the Adam Greenberg injury.. not even getting a chance for an at-bat. Hopefully Fowler makes it back in 2018 and becomes a major part of the Yankees' emerging core, along with Frazier and Torres, and of course Sanchez and Judge.
As for the Yankees, the injuries(both major and minor league) are coming at a bad time, especially with 2 first place teams(Houston, Milwaukee) and the Blue Jays coming up on the schedule, and their wild card lead being chipped away by LA, Tampa, Texas, Baltimore, Kansas City, Seattle.. and let's not rule out the Jays if they remember how to hit!
These injuries increase the chance the Yankees will stand pat at the deadline and stick with their rebuild plans, as there's no point blowing prospects for rentals especially when the team itself is at least a year away from being a bonafide powerhouse.. and their prospect stock has been drained by injuries to Torres and Fowler.
