The New York Yankees are back on top of the AL East as they continue their successful run. Pitching woes seem to be coming to an end for the team, with Clarke Schmit back on the mound. A few other injury updates bring promising news for fans.
However, they still need to carry out this season without Gerrit Cole. Here’s the latest update on the team’s injured players.
Giancarlo Stanton Nears Return
Stanton’s absence sent fans into a frenzy as many lost hope. The All-Star would have made a huge difference on the team, but the good news is that he’s shown progress and is nearing a return. Stanton finished his rounds of PRP injections and is continuing to hit off a Trajekt high-velocity machine. The good news is that he’s traveling to Tampa and will soon take live at-bats. Yankees fans cannot wait for Stanton to return.
Luis Gil Setback
Gil had a slight setback after his throwing program was delayed for 10 days. Gil needs more time to heal. The Yankees want to see more healing after his recent MRI. Gil could take a while to return, and there is no particular timeline for now.

Loaisiga has made progress after throwing a live BP session at Yankee Stadium. As part of his rehab, he will continue throwing before taking a couple of minor league outings. Loaisiga will travel to Tampa to continue his throwing sessions.
Jake Cousins And DJ LeMahieu Update
The Yankees will have a stronger pitching rotation when Jake Cousins and Luis Gil return. Cousins has already started throwing from a mound, and he’s just a few weeks away from facing hitters. As for LeMahieu, he’s already working out in Tampa. LeMahieu is eagerly waiting to get back onto the field.
The Bronx Bombers have shown great progress with Paul Goldschmidt and Cody Bellinger. Fans are hyped to see Bellinger play at his best as they compare his performance to Juan Soto’s. Once the Yankees have their pitchers back and Stanton in the game, their postseason run will be much easier.
