Ahead of Friday’s series opener with the Blue Jays, Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided injury updates on several players.
Bellinger getting closer to a rehab start
Cody Bellinger, recovering from a Grade 2 hamstring strain, is nearing a minor league rehab assignment that could start next week, potentially returning him before Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge.
Rodon’s next step undecided
Carlos Rodon had a successful rehab start with seven strikeouts in 4.1 innings, but Boone is undecided on whether he will make another rehab start or be activated next week.
Chivilli lands on the IL
Angel Chivilli was placed on the IL with elbow issues, and the Yankees signed reliever Justin Topa to a minor league contract.
