EDGE Analysis

Rortvedt will be shut down from hitting for five days after being diagnosed with the Grade 1 strain, and Boone expressed concern regarding the catcher's availability for Opening Day. The 24-year-old was expected to compete with Kyle Higashioka for playing time at catcher during spring training, but Rortvedt's shutdown means that Higashioka could begin the 2022 campaign as the Yankees' primary catcher.
