Manager Aaron Boone said they'll be getting more tests and imaging for more information on Benintendi's wrist. "It's inconclusive right now."
“He felt like something popped on his wrist, and he’s got some numbness in his fingers,” Boone said.
Losing a .300 hitter is the last thing the Yankees needed, as they've been having trouble scoring runs for some time now.
“He’s obviously an important guy in our lineup right now,” Boone said. “Especially with how we’ve been struggling offensively.”
Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees have made the following roster moves:

• Placed OF Andrew Benintendi the 15-Day IL with a right wrist contusion.
• Designated LHP Anthony Banda for assignment.
• Recalled OF Estevan Florial and RHP Ryan Weber from Triple-A SWB.
Moves made as a result include the recall of OF Estevan Florial, as well as right-hander Ryan Weber, while lefty Anthony Banda has been DFA'd.
