Michael Kay apologized to New York Yankees outfielder Clint Frazier for appearing to criticize his inability to return from a concussion. Kirk Meyer of the New York Daily News passed along comments Kay made Monday during an appearance on ESPN New York Radio: "Shame on Clint Frazier for not getting healthy."After Frazier advised the longtime play-by-play man to "steer clear of publicly calling me out for not when we haven't even had one [conversation] about my concussion this year" in a Twitter message Kurt Suzuki Jersey , Kay responded."Clint, I would never question someone's injury. Never," he wrote. "In fact, I have gone out of my way to say how I felt for you this year and how badly I know how you want to play. It is beyond my comprehension that you would think I would minimize what you are going through."Kay added: "The next time I make light of someone's injury will be the first time. I should have said how unfortunate you and [Jacoby] Ellsbury's injuries are. It came out in a clumsy way. If you took it the wrong way, I apologize and look forward to speaking with you personally."Kay was speaking about the Yankees' lack of depth because of injuries and also referenced Ellsbury in the remarks, which he laterdescribedas facetious.Frazier, who started the 2018 season on the disabled list because of a concussion http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , played 15 games across three stints with the Yankees between trips in the minor leagues before getting placed back on the DL early last month withpost-concussion migraines."I feel better. Much better than I did the last two weeks," he saidJuly 25, perDJ Eberleof theTimes Leader. "I'm just hoping that it continues to go that directiont's frustrating whenever it doesn't. To know I feel good right now is better because it eases my mind more."The 23-year-old Georgia native has compiled a .238/.295/.429 slash line with four home runs in 54 appearances across two seasons with the Yankees.The team has not provided a timetable for Frazier's return. Shane Robinson will continue to provide New York with outfield depth for the time being.

EDTShareTweetShareShareJordy Mercer placed on the 10-day injured listRick Osentoski-USA TODAY SportsDetroit Tigers’ shortstop Jordy Mercer will be placed on the 10-day injured list with a right quad strain sustained in the fifth inning of Saturday’s game against the Minnesota Twins, according to Tigers public relations Twitter account.The injury came while running out a one-hop double off the wall to lead off the inning. As he approached first base, he came up lame but managed to still stumble his way to second. He was immediately removed and replaced by Gordon Beckham as a pinch runner, who also remained in the game at shortstop. As a result http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , the Tigers played the rest of the match without any position players left on the bench, with Niko Goodrum out due to an illness and Nicholas Castellanos still dealing with a nagging toe injury. The current options the club has available on the 40-man roster to replace Mercer are Brandon Dixon, Dawel Lugo, Ronny Rodriguez and Willi Castro. While Dixon has some experience at second base, that would force Harrison to move over to the other side of the bag. Lugo could slot into either shortstop or second, but would likely take the more familiar role at the latter if called up. Rodriguez is a bit of a Swiss-Army man who can fill in wherever he is needed on the field. Willi Castro is least likely to get the call, as the Tigers probably do not want to interfere with his development or his service time at this point. Of the four mentioned above Mike Foltynewicz Jersey , Lugo is swinging the hottest bat, hitting .333 in 29 plate-appearances, with two doubles, a homerun, four bases-on-balls, and three strikeouts. Two others are absolutely ice cold at the plate, with Dixon batting .133 in 30 PA and 13 strikeouts http://www.bravesfanproshop.com/authentic-nick-markakis-jersey , and Ronny Rodriguez swinging a slightly more respectable .212 batting average but not much else. With Mikie Mahtook getting designated for assignment, there is an open spot on the 40-man roster that would clear a path for Pete Kozma to make his 2019 debut with the big league squad. While he is not well known for his offensive skills, he does bring a solid defensive glove into play. The roster moves are expected to occur before the next game against the Twins in Minnesota on Sunday.
