For a second straight season, Yankees catcher Ben Rortvedt has been struck by injuries, this time both “bizarre” and “frustrating.”
TAMPA — Eager to get a better jump on the upcoming season, Ben Rortvedt arrived at Yankees camp early. The catcher said he reported around December, wanting to ensure he would be fully healthy and ready for spring training, which could help position him for a roster spot.
Rortvedt, who as recently as last March was seen as a possible starter at catcher, underwent a procedure Wednesday for what manager Aaron Boone called “an aneurysm of his posterior artery” near his left shoulder. Rortvedt won’t be able to perform baseball activities for at least a month and knows little beyond that.Yankees’ Jasson Dominguez belts long homer in Grapefruit League debut
Instead, he quickly suffered an oblique strain that sidelined him, and the Yankees responded by trading for Jose Trevino, who ran with the job. Rortvedt began a rehab assignment last May that lasted two games before he required arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. He did not return until July, when he finished the season with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and did not make his Yankees debut.“If I stood here and said I wasn’t extremely frustrated, I’d be lying.
