Yankees Carpenter expects to return this season
Seattle: New York Yankees sparkplug Matt Carpenter said Wednesday he expects to return this season and won’t need surgery on his broken left foot.
Carpenter saw a specialist in Seattle on Wednesday morning before the Yankees’ series finale against the Mariners. Carpenter fouled a pitch off his left foot in Monday’s series opener and is expected to be out at least six weeks.
“I’m very encouraged, very encouraged that we avoided surgery and got a clean break that just needs to heal and we’ll see how long it takes,” Carpenter said.
Carpenter said he still expects to see one more specialist back in New York, but most opinions have been universal in a course of treatment moving forward.
