Luke Voit is still crushing the ball for the New York Yankees despite dealing with an obvious foot injury.
Voit crushed a 3-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning Friday to put his Yankees up 7-1 against the Baltimore Orioles. As he made his way around the bases, Voit was noticeably hobbling.

Voit did not play on Thursday due to normal “wear and tear.” But manager Aaron Boone has acknowledged that Voit is dealing with “foot stuff.”
Getting a lot of questions about Luke Voit's HR trot. That's the "foot stuff" Aaron Boone was talking about. Also why Boone wanted to give Voit a day off yesterday before the rainout.
Voit recently: "I've been dealing with it for for a little bit now, but … I'll get through."
