Yankees Rougned Odor placed on IL after home-plate collision By Zac Wassink | Last updated 5/5/21
New York Yankees second baseman Rougned Odor showed determination and grit when he accidentally slammed his knee into the head of Houston Astros catcher Martin Maldonado while crossing home plate in the bottom of the sixth inning of Tuesday s 7-3 New York win:
A ton happening here. The bases are cleared and 3 runs score on an infield single by DJ LeMahieu & a throwing error by Alex Bregman.
Hoping Rougned Odor is okay.
That came at a price, however, as the Yankees have placed Odor on the 10-day injured list with a left knee sprain. In a corresponding roster move, the Bronx Bombers recalled right-hander Albert Abreu from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees gave us quite the show tonight. Gerrit Cole utterly dominated the Tigers’ lineup, the Bombers unleashed a home run bonanza back in the Bronx, and another shutdown performance from the bullpen sealed a 10-0 victory. There’s a lot to cover, so let’s jump right in.
The first inning was arguably Cole’s shakiest, as he some missed spots early and took the first two batters to settle in. But boy did he settle in as he capped off the inning with a filthy strikeout of Miguel Cabrera.
Giancarlo Stanton got the action started off Tigers starter Tarik Skubal in the home half of the first by blistering a one-out double off the auxiliary scoreboard in right, extending his hitting streak to eight games. This one only clocked in at 115.7 mph, on the softer side compared to some of his hits during the rest of the streak. Madness.

Introducing Yankees Insider:
New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge is not in the starting lineup for his second straight game since manager Aaron Boone told the press he was suffering from Lower body soreness . Considering that Judge has a history of spending prolonged periods of time on the Injured List, this is not the news Yankees fans were hoping to hear right now. Not only was Judge starting to swing the bat better but it looks like the Yankees themselves could possibly be turning the corner. The Bronx Bombers have won five of their last seven games and with a win today would win their second straight four-game series.
