yankees

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'yes kane injured in team' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'yes kane injured in' is the wordplay.
'injured' is an anagram indicator.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'kane' is an anagram of 'anke'.
'yes' placed around 'anke' is 'YANKEES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yankees that I've seen before include "Northern soldiers in the American Civil War" , "NY baseball team" , "Side in US Civil War" , "Americans or northern states during civil war" , "New York baseball team" .)
