Didi Gregorius Comments on Dehydration After Monday's Extended Spring Game

Giancarlo Stanton's not the only rehabbing Yankee with weird problems.

New York Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius was scratched from Tuesday's extended Spring Training start because of dehydration on Monday. After taking the day off, he returned on Wednesday, going 1-for-3 with a walk.

When pressed, Gregorius happily expanded on what he was dealing with on Monday.

"What happened Monday? Dehydrated. Just got headaches," Gregorius said. "Nothing too crazy. Felt good yesterday and today was really good. Everything is 100% good."

Gregorius was doing some pregame work in mid-90 degree heat before the extended spring game. That'll get anyone a little dehydrated if you aren't pumping fluids in your body. This isn't anything serious, and he played on Wednesday and expects to play on Thursday.

He just needs to make sure he's drinking plenty of water or Gatorade beforehand.
