stint of the year after a torn meniscus required surgery and delayed his season debut until May 11—Voit has made an instant impact on a Yankees offense that was desperate for production from his corner of the infield.
Voit has four hits in his first three games back, including two home runs, a triple, and a walk-off rope off the left field wall at Yankee Stadium, which cemented a comeback victory over the Royals on Wednesday.
New York has scored a total of 19 runs in Voit’s first three games back, including what’s become a rare offensive outburst on Thursday.
With a rematch against the Red Sox looming in Boston, the Yankees are now 11-4 in games that Voit has played in this season.
“There’s no question that when Luke Voit is healthy and in our lineup, it’s another heavyweight in the order,” Boone said Thursday.
