On Thursday, Yankees reserve infielder Eric Chavez somehow found a way to break his foot while legging out a triple that didn't require him to slide. Chavez was placed on the 15-day disabled list after the game with a fractured fifth metatarsal, and if you're looking for a timeline for his return, this'll get you part of the way there:
Eric Chavez To Spend Next Two Weeks In A Walking Boot
Eric Chavez will be in a boot for 2 weeks and then re-evaluated.
So the Yankees will look at Chavez’s foot again in two weeks. From there, if the fracture’s healed well, Chavez should be able to begin some baseball activities, and based on my own rough estimation, this looks like the kind of thing that will keep him out for a month. Approximately.
To replace Chavez - who had an .834 OPS over 39 trips to the plate - the Yankees recalled infielder Ramiro Pena, who has a career OPS of .588. In the majors, anyway. It's a far superior .639 in the minors.
