Yankees left fielder Andrew Benintendi had surgery to fix his broken right hand. He is not wearing a brace but there are still stitches where he had the surgery. Benindi has a return date in mind.
The Yankees are on pace to win the American League East. If they stay on track, their first playoff round would begin on October 11. Left-handed hitter Andrew Benintendi fractured his right hamate bone Sept. 2 during a swing. He hasn't played since. If Benindi can't play, rookie Oswald Cabrera seems likely to be the team's starting left fielder in the postseason.
