New York Yankees outfielders Giancarlo Stanton and Jasson Domínguez took steps forward in their returns from injuries this week. Both players participated in live batting practice at Yankee Stadium. Manager Aaron Boone provided updates on their timelines.
Domínguez has been sidelined since May 7 with a left AC joint sprain. He faced right-hander Angel Chivilli in batting practice on Tuesday and is scheduled to play in Minor League rehab games on Friday and Sunday. His rehab assignment is expected to continue beyond those dates. Stanton has been out since April 24 with a right calf strain. He also hit against Chivilli on Tuesday and is set to do so again on Saturday. Boone noted that Stanton is increasing his mobility and appears to be recovering well after initial soreness. Stanton will not join the team on its upcoming road trip to Cleveland and Toronto. Boone said he expects Stanton to continue running and ramping up activity next week. The Yankees are separately seeking a diagnosis for Aaron Judge's rib cage and shoulder issues.
