Overview
- Jazz Chisholm Jr. has played third base in rehab games, going 2-for-4 with a double and walk, and could be reinstated from the injured list as soon as Tuesday.
- Manager Aaron Boone plans to install Chisholm at third base to preserve DJ LeMahieu at second and upgrade an infield offense batting just .187 so far.
- Right-hander Luis Gil completed a 15-pitch bullpen session—his first mound work since February—and remains on a cautious timeline for his season debut.
- Reliever Fernando Cruz is set for a live bullpen session Saturday at Dodger Stadium and is projected to rejoin the roster next Tuesday if he avoids setbacks.
- Giancarlo Stanton is closing in on a designated-hitter return after rehabbing tendinitis in both elbows, with New York’s DH spot hitting .282 in his absence.
