Yankees Minor League Injury Notes

Slade Heathcott is out (again).  He is feeling discomfort in his surgically repaired knee and has been sent to New York for evaluation.

Infield prospect Angelo Gumbs is out with a shoulder injury.  One thing that is hard to project with any prospect is how injury-prone they may become.  Gumbs has been with the team since 2010, and the 91 games he appeared in last year represented his career high.    He is (was?) a very toolsy prospect, and his clock is ticking closer to zero every day.

As reported before, Abiatal Avelino is out with a quadriceps injury and like won't return until Mid-June.

Eric Jagielo is currently on the 7-day disabled list in Tampa after feeling tightness in his side after swinging at a pitch last week (On the next pitch, he homered).  At the time, it wasn't considered serious and supposedly is not an oblique injury.  For now, we will just assume that he is being kept out for precautionary reasons.
