For the past couple weeks, the Yankees’ injury news mostly seemed to be coming back positive. Giancarlo Stanton has ramped up baseball activities. Dellin Betances and Luis Severino each have made multiple rehab appearances, with the latter apparently ready to join the big club. Jordan Montgomery has completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery, and could pitch in the majors this weekend for the first time since May 2018.
Hopefully, you didn’t get too used to the bright outlook. Today’s doubleheader with the Tigers left the Yankees as battered and bruised as ever, with multiple players leaving the field with injuries.
