There was a point, not too long ago, when it felt like the Yankees\u2019 season might be circling the drain before it even began. Gerrit Cole was shut down before Opening Day. Giancarlo Stanton had a brand new ailment: tennis elbow in both arms. Luis Gil, the reigning AL Rookie of the Year, was out for months with a lat strain. And just a few weeks later, to round it all out, Jazz Chisholm Jr. strained his oblique so badly it tore in three places.<\/p>\n
Yet here they are, heading toward the end of May with six straight series wins and one of the best records in baseball. And most importantly, with reinforcements on the way. Almost timed perfectly enough for Brian Cashman to call them trade acquisitions. <\/p>\n
Yankees Injury Update<\/p>\n
Giancarlo Stanton is in Tampa, where he\u2019s expected to get daily live at-bats in simulated games starting Tuesday. He\u2019ll also begin running the bases as he works back from dual elbow issues that landed him on the 60-day injured list. Brian Cashman said Sunday that Stanton could spend two weeks hitting in sim games before starting a rehab assignment. Manager Aaron Boone wouldn\u2019t commit to that timeline but said, \u201cHe should be able to replicate a lot of things this week\u2026 then we\u2019ll see what we\u2019re going to do next week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jazz Chisholm Jr. is scheduled to go through a full workout tomorrow and then could go out on a rehab assignment later in the week, per Boone.<\/p>\n
Luis Gil should get off the mound for the first time on Friday.<\/p>\n
\u2014 Greg Joyce (@GJoyce9) May 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n Jazz Chisholm is just a few steps behind. Out since April 30, the second baseman began light workouts Monday and will ramp things up Tuesday. Live BP is on the docket, and the Yankees hope to get him into rehab games by the weekend. Boone said the team expects him back \u201cwithin the next week hopefully.\u201d<\/p>\n ALSO READ: Shohei Ohtani\u2019s Pitching Return Makes Everything Bigger<\/a><\/p>\n Luis Gil, meanwhile, is targeting July after beginning his throwing program in late April. He\u2019s scheduled to get back on the mound Friday. \u201cLouie is doing really good,\u201d Boone said. \u201cHe feels really good.\u201d<\/p>\n Injury updates from the dugout: Jazz Chisholm Jr. could be playing in Minor League rehab games by the end of the week, Giancarlo Stanton is in Tampa and will be having live at-bats all week, Fernando Cruz is with the team in Anaheim and should toss live BP during the Dodgers\u2026<\/p>\n
