Austin Wells Placed on 10-Day IL With Cervical Headaches

The Yankees have placed catcher Austin Wells on the 10-day injured list due to cervical headaches. Wells, who had been struggling with a season-long slump, joins Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton on the IL. J.C. Escarra has been recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to provide depth behind the plate. The team is reportedly expected to pursue a right-handed hitting catcher before the trade deadline.
