Damn, sorry Yankees fans – it’s over for Derek Jeter this season. He’s headed back to DL, effectively ending his season. He played just 17 games this year.
Details after the jump…
Via USAToday:
Derek Jeter has been placed on the disabled list and his injury-plagued 2013 season is over, New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman told reporters in Baltimore on Wednesday.
Jeter, 39, played in just 17 games this season as he recovered from two ankle surgeries. Jeter fractured his left ankle in Game 1 of the 2012 American League Championship Series, came back to play in spring-training games, but underwent a second procedure in April. He made his season debut on July 11, but immediately suffered a quadriceps injury, and has been dogged by leg ailments since. Jeter hasn’t played since Saturday, complaining of more pain in his left ankle.
