The New York Yankees is off to a rough start for this upcoming season. Their outfielder, Curtis Granderson was hit by a pitch in his first at-bat during a spring training game on February 17th. He was hit by a pitch from J.A. Happ and was clearly in pain afterwards. At first, he was diagnosed with only a bruised forearm, but after X-rays, it was announced that it is a fracture. This game was supposed to be Granderson's first game in left field, but he never got a chance. Happ is reported to be concerned with how Granderson was doing after the hit and it was not intentional. The Yankees have their backups however. They signed Matt Diaz and Juan Rivera for backup outfielders. Granderson will be able to play in ten weeks, or on May 5th.
