The New York Yankees might have shortstop Didi Gregorius available at some point during the 2018 season after all.According to MLB.com'sBryan Hoch Authentic Phillip Lindsay Jersey , Gregorius "is encouraged by how much better his wrist feels" and "believes" he will suit up again at some point this year.This comes after Lindsey Adler of The Athletic reported Gregorius tore cartilage in his wrist and underwent an MRI and cortisol treatment. At the time, manager Aaron Boone said he was "unsure" if the shortstop would return in 2018.This is welcome news for a Yankees team that will need all the firepower it can get in the pressure-packed, win-or-go-home, American League Wild Card Game.Gregorius has appeared in 132 games for the Bronx Bombers this season and is slashing .268/.336/.498 with a career-best 27 home runs and 86 RBI. He also brings some speed to the base paths with 10 steals and gives New York a left-handed bat to help balance out a powerful lineup featuring right-handers such as Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and Gary Sanchez.Boone discussed the importance of having Gregorius available and on the field when he went on the disabled list earlier this season, perColey Harveyof ESPN.com."Obviously, Didi is so important to what we do, he's such an important player to us, the middle of our lineup, the middle of our field鈥攈e's kind of our quarterback out there," Boone said. "He does so many things intangibly well that we certainly will miss him. But we also feel like we have the people capable of stepping up for him while he's down."New York can move Gleyber Torres to shortstop and rely on the likes of Neil Walker and Ronald Torreyes at second base while Gregorius is out, but it likely needs its powerful shortstop back and in the lineup if it is going to challenge for a World Series crown. TORONTO (AP) â John Gibbons said he wasnât going to cry, but the veteran manager struggled to contain his emotions in his final home game with the Toronto Blue Jays.The Blue Jays gave Gibbons a winning home send-off Wednesday with a 3-1 win over the Houston Astros Authentic Todd Gurley Jersey , who broke out the bubbly anyway.The World Series champion Astros actually clinched their second straight AL West title when Oakland lost in extra innings at Seattle well past midnight Tuesday. Several of the Astros partied at a hotel meeting room, but they held a more traditional clubhouse celebration â complete with rain jackets and goggles â despite this loss.

The 56-year-old Gibbons has one season left on a two-year contract extension he received in April 2017.âWe are going to have a new voice. We are going to have a new approach,â Atkins said.After getting the final out, Blue Jays closer Ken Giles gave the ball to Gibbons and the Rogers Centre crowd of 22,828 rose for a standing ovation.âIâve been here a long time,â said Gibbons, who first joined the Jays in 2002. âIâve had some great times and Iâve had some tough times. Itâs sad in a way, but it brought back a lot of good memories. I never cry Todd Gurley Jersey Elite , Iâm not going to cry, my lip might shake a little bit.âGibbons was in the midst of a postgame interview on the field when outfielder Kevin Pillar came out and doused his manager with a cooler.Randal Grichuk hit a two-run homer and rookie Reese McGuire added a solo shot as the Blue Jays won with only three hits.Grichuk said he was happy to be part of a winning effort for Gibbons.âHe rightfully deserves it,â Grichuk said. âGreat manager, easy to talk to, goes about things the right way. He definitely can help young guys and heâs there for the veteran guys. Heâs definitely going to be missed here.âPillar, the longest-tenured Blue Jays player, stood at the back of a packed news conference to hear Gibbonsâ pregame announcement in person.âWhat I learned from being in that interview room was that he was four games above .500 for his career and if we could get one win heâd finish his tenure here as a winner,â Pillar said. âYou want to come through that line and give your manager a handshake after a win and it was extra special knowing it was his last one at home.âAtkins said Gibbons can decide whether to take a new role in the organization. Gibbons didnât rule that out, but also said heâd like to manage in the big leagues again.âThese jobs are hard to come by,â Gibbons said. âBut weâll see. Itâs not going to destroy me if I donât.

That doesnât always happen. He put a lot of money in my pocket. Thatâs not bad, either.âGrichuk connected off right-hander Chris Devenski in the first, his career-best 25th home run. McGuire led off the fifth with a blast to right Cooper Kupp Jersey Elite , the first of his big league career.Joe Biagini (4-7) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win and Giles, the seventh Toronto pitcher of the game, needed just five pitches to wrap it up in the ninth, earning his 25th save in 25 opportunities.Devenski (2-3) allowed two runs and one hit in two innings.Atkins said he will discuss the future of Torontoâs coaches this the weekend as the Blue Jays finish the season with three games at Tampa Bay.In between his stints with the Blue Jays, Gibbons served three seasons as a bench coach with the Royals, working alongside managers Trey Hillman and Ned Yost.
