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."
