Yankees Shortstop Brendan Ryan Set To Hit DL

New York Yankees shortstop Brendan Ryan has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 calf strain, the team announced Wednesday. Manager Joe Girardi called it "a longshot" that the infielder will be ready for Monday's opener against Toronto.

Ryan was in backing up Didi Gregorius, who was diagnosed with a sprained left wrist earlier in the week. Gregorius sat out a third straight game with his wrist issue, but seems to be set to be ready for opening day. “I'm not worried about it; I have all the range of motion in it, so it’s going good,” Gregorius said. “Really good.”
