Overview

  • Jazz Chisholm Jr., sidelined since April 30 by a right oblique strain with three confirmed tears, is slated to start a minor-league rehab assignment Thursday and could rejoin the active roster in early June.
  • Oswaldo Cabrera, who won the spring training third-base job, suffered a fractured ankle in April and has been ruled out for the season, deepening New York’s infield hole.
  • Giancarlo Stanton has completed base running and extended live batting practice sessions and is expected to begin a rehab assignment within the next two weeks, according to GM Brian Cashman.
  • The Yankees are weighing several right-handed hitters for third base—ranging from cost-controlled veterans to high-profile targets such as Nolan Arenado or Alec Bohm—per multiple trade reports.
  • On the mound, Luis Gil is due to resume throwing off a mound by Friday while Max Fried and Carlos Rodón continue to anchor a rotation New York views as solid but eager to bolster before the July 31 deadline.
