Rougned Odor’s return!

As I’m sure you all are well aware, this is the first instance of Rougned Odor being back at Globe Life Field since his early season trade to the Yankees. A seven-year veteran with the Texas Rangers, fans still have a lot of love for Odor due to the passion in which he played the game with.

Odor is currently on the injured list, however he is expected to return during this week’s series. The guys over at Yanks Go Yard said as much, and a recent report from NJ.com stated that the Yankees are “expecting they’ll get second baseman Rougned Odor back this week.”

Odor is only batting .167 with New York this season, but he adds some much needed depth to a team that is – as mentioned previously – dealing with a ton of injuries at the moment.

Whether off the bench, in the field, or at the DH spot, having Odor’s bat in the lineup could give the Yanks a little extra boost as they try to rebound from last night’s loss.
