NEW YORK— There won’t be many pregame press conferences this season that include more favorable Yankees injury news from manager Aaron Boone than Tuesday’s at Yankee Stadium.
Ace Gerrit Cole continued to advance in his pitching regimen, throwing a second bullpen session. Since being sidelined in spring training due to nerve inflammation in his elbow, the right-hander’s recovery has been going smoothly.
After suffering a setback late last month, veteran infielder DJ LeMahieu is gradually building up his baseball practices, bringing him closer to game action. On Tuesday afternoon, LeMahieu was taking grounders from third base, planting and moving laterally with his injured right foot.

New York Daily News | Gary Phillips Despite a generally positive start to the season, the Yankees have been plagued by the injury bug.

FanGraphs | Michael Baumann: Long before the Yankees traded for him, Juan Soto was regarded as one of the best hitters in the majors. It’s why he’s expected to sign a lucrative contract when he hits free agency this winter. Despite being an outstanding hitter with one of the best eyes in the game, he has managed to improve his game so far this year.
