Francisco Cervelli left the Yankees game against the Blue Jays with a broken hand:

Cervelli was removed after taking a foul tip from Toronto’s Rajai Davis, the game’s leadoff hitter, off his hand to begin the top of the first. The Yankees later disclosed the fracture, which the team stated will require surgery.

Cervelli was off to a great start, but there’s no reason to belief his hot hitting would continue. This may give Austin Romine a chance to stick in the major.

Ivan Nova also left the game early with an elbow problem.

The Yankees lead the Blue Jays 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth.
