“#Yankees’ Luke Voit homers, trip<\/a>les in return to lineup<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Luke Voit wasn\u2019t as animated as normal during pregame<\/a> hours in the Yankees clubhouse.<\/p>\n

But the reigning home run king\u2019s bat was as loud as ever once the game started.<\/p>\n

Voit returned to the Yankees with a home run, a controversial triple and a walk in four plate app<\/a>earances Tuesday during a 6-5 loss to the Royals. The first-inning homer broke a scoreless tie and the seventh-inning triple set up pinch-runner Tyler Wade to score the go-ahead run on a wild pitch, but the Royals rallied for four runs in the top of the eighth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was actually pretty calm walking in,\u201d manager Aaron Boone said. \u201cUsually you hear him walking by the coaches room.\u201d<\/p>\n

After slugging a MLB-best 22 home runs in the shortened 2020 season, Voit scuffled through 44 at-bats over 12 games between two stints on the injured list (partially torn meniscus, oblique strain) to begin 2021.<\/p>\n

In some ways, Voit\u2019s season is just beginning. He completed Sunday a five-game rehab stint at Double-A Somerset that included hitting one of the deepest home runs in the 22-year history of TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater, N.J.<\/p>\n

\u201cI flushed the first half,\u201d Voit said. \u201cThis is the first game since the beginning of spring [training] that I\u2019ve been healthy. There\u2019s nothing wrong with me now. I feel great. It was good to get a week\u2019s worth of games in so I have my legs under me, and I\u2019m ready to get this team rolling into the All-Star break and go from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boone saw enough to stick Voit in the No. 3 hole, between Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Voit, who entered hitting .182 with one home run, reached base three times for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had a really good walk at-bat when we were stringing together another rally,\u201d Boone said of the fourth inning. \u201cFouled off a bunch of pitches, laid off some really close pitches, so it was really good to see him kind of locked in from the get-go.\u201d<\/p>\n
