Luke Voit’s name has come up in trade discussions the Yankees are having with various teams, reports the YES Network’s Jack Curry (via Twitter). Voit is currently on the injured list with a bone bruise in his knee, but he’s nearing a return to the active roster.
It’s been an injury-marred season for 30-year-old Voit, who missed the first month-plus after undergoing surgery to repair a meniscus tear and then quickly landed back on the injured list with an oblique strain. This is his third IL stint of the year, and that trio of maladies has combined to limit him to 29 games and 122 plate appearances.
Yankees make shocking deal for Anthony Rizzo
Share this story
In a stunning turn of events, the Yankees have reportedly acquired first baseman Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs. Less than a day after moving on Joey Gallo, and mere hours after getting blown off the field in Tampa, the Yankees continue to try to turn their season around via external reinforcements.
This qualifies as one of the more shocking trades in recent memory. Few linked Rizzo to the Yankees, a team with incumbent first base starter Luke Voit theoretically nearing a return from injury and DJ LeMahieu ably holding the fort in the interim. However, rumors swirled today regarding Voit’s status with the club, and now, the Yankees have a new star at the cold corner.
End of an era: Cubs trade Anthony Rizzo to Yankees, who are loading up on lefty power bats The Cubs have actually traded Anthony Rizzo, and the New York Yankees keep boosting their offense.

It’s been no secret that the Cubs are clear-cut sellers this trade deadline, with trades of outfielder Joc Pederson, lefty setup man Andrew Chafin, and righty setup man Ryan Tepera (earlier on Thursday) serving as evidence. But things went to another level on that front for the Cubs and their fans in a trade with the New York Yankees on Thursday.
The Cubs have traded first baseman Anthony Rizzo to the Yankees in exchange for minor-league prospects Kevin Alcantara (outfielder) and Alexander Vizcaíno (pitcher).
