Likely Yankees lineup (guys likely to miss 20 games or more in bold):
Ellsbury
Jeter
Beltran
McCann (technicality - catcher)
Soriano
Teixeira
Kelly Johnson
Brendan Ryan/Brian Roberts
Brett Gardner
Sabathia
Tanaka
Kuroda
Nova
Phelps/Pineda
with Robertson as the closer.
Not sure that's a playoff team. What I am sure is that it is an old, expensive team. With almost no depth to cover for the multitudes of injuries that are coming.
If Ellsbury has another big injury and misses another big chunk of the season... they could be in serious trouble.
