ST. Petersburg, Florida — Domingo German began his rehab mission on Wednesday, returning from his right shoulder impingement, which had set him aside since spring training, with the start of a single A tampa.
"This is a big problem," said Yankees manager Aaron Boone about the German outing.
Germans must be on the roster within 30 days if there is no frustration of injury. He can be useful as a depth of rotation or to pitch out of the bullpen.
Right-handed Albert Abreu,claimed Waivers from the Royals on Tuesday, andis expected to be on the roster on Thursday, Boone said.
The Yankees need to make the corresponding move and remove the pitcher from the roster before Abreu returns.
Clarke Schmidt and Ron Marinaccio are one of the rescuers who still have minor league options.
The Yankees also pitch Aroldis Chapman in a rehab game Announced to do this weekend at the Double-A Somerset.
With the looming additions of Abreu and Chapman, the bullpen can quickly look quite different. The Yankees have not decided how he will use German after his return.
Right-handed Ryan Weber has returned to the Yankees on a minor league contract. He chose a free agent after being appointed to a mission last week.
Isiah Kiner-Falefa returned to the lineup on Wednesday night for the first time since experiencing left hamstring tensions on Saturday. He reached the base twice with a5-4 victory over the raise.
The Yankees were cautious about using Marwin Gonzalez and Gleyber Torres instead to bring Kinerfarefa back while playing on the relentless artificial turf in Tropicana Field.
Boone said he had no protracted concerns about the injury.
"He will take a day [again] on this stretch before the next day off (July 4th)," he said. "I think he'll bounce off well."
Kinner Falefa had a good hit before the injury and was suitable for OPS.874 with 3 doubles and 6 RBIs 27-10 in the previous 7 games. rice field.
The Yankees face left-handed Framber Valdez when opening a series against the Astros at the stadium on Thursday, so Boone will face as many left-handed as possible against Rays Lighty Shane on Wednesday. I wanted to add a swinger to the lineup. Buzz.
This means Matt Carpenter is his fourth starting lineup since June 3rd and his first baseman this year. He went one-on-three.
Aaron Hicks, who played 6 to 15 in four stretches with doubles, triples and four RBIs before becoming hitless on Tuesday, showed signs of life on the plate, according to Boone. For example, the start (he came to the defense in the 8th inning) is likely to play on Thursday.
Joey Gallo has also joined the lineup, expanding his recent funk to 0:10 and making 6 strikeouts and 4 walks in the last 5 games.
Torres, who also didn't start, grounded as a substitute for Carpenter and later grounded again. He was 8-20 with 5 doubles and Homer in the previous 5 games.
