Take out the word "training" and we're there. Sure enough, Bird has stubbed his toe (actually, a "left plantar fascia tear" and when you say "tear," I would think you're talking more than just the 10-day IL).
In my book, that would be it for Greg Bird. Same for Flopsbury, whom the Yankees have transferred to the 60-day IL.
13 players on the injured list already this season and 5 opening day starters out. Goose Gossage thinks today's players are sissies and at times I am inclined to agree with him.
