Greg Bird lands on Yankees' injured list with plantar fascia tear

The New York Yankees placed first baseman Greg Bird on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to April 14, with a left plantar fascia tear.

What It Means:

Luke Voit should continue to see the majority of starts at first base while Bird is sidelined. It's not clear how long he will be out, but the 26-year-old has gotten off to a rough start in 2019.

Bird is 6-for-35 (.171) with a home run and 6 runs scored through 41 plate appearances. He has 16 strikeouts and 6 walks drawn.
