Luke Voit Leaves Yankees-Diamondbacks Game and Fans Are Speculating About the Reason Like Lunatics
By Thomas Carannante
It's not going great for the Yankees on Tuesday night. They're down 3-0 to the Arizona Diamondbacks and Luke Voit has given them yet another scare.
A fastball to the face didn't deter the massive first baseman, but something sure did this evening when he was removed from the game. Fans are speculating it's an oblique injury, which would be terrible news.
Luke Voit is out of the game. Gio Urshela is at first base and Tyler Wade entered at third. Hm.

Some are even speculating he could've been traded mid-game, but after he was hit on the elbow with a pitch in the first inning and then was seen wincing after a swing in the third inning, signs point to it being an injury.
Luke Voit is out of the game. He was hit on the elbow by a pitch in 1st inning but played a few more innings. Replays appear to show him wincing during his strikeout in the 3rd inning. Gio Urshela is playing first base and Tyler Wade at third.

The trade rumors don't seem to make too much sense given how good a season he's been having coupled with the fact there aren't many players out there worth moving him for at the MLB deadline.
You think maybe Luke Voit was traded between innings?

He's batting .279/.391/.494 with 19 home runs and 54 RBI in 93 games. He's a big part of the Yankees' offensive attack, so stay tuned for updates on his status.
