longtime Yankee farmhand, took a comebacker off the head a few years ago. Nice story. Probably not a difference-maker, but if someone is going to pitch garbage time innings it might as well be a rookie.
Would love to see Pax go 6-7 today. Masa did a fantastic job yesterday of preserving the pen - all we needed was a fully rested Chapman to pitch the 9th.
Going to need our arms today with the double header. Every inning counts and it's time for Pax to get on a roll going into the later part o the year into the postseason.
After coming back from the knee injury, every time he's had a few good starts in a row, he has a stinker. Need more consistency out of him. He's had two very good starts in a row, now let's have a third.
What is the timetable if any on the following injured players
Stanton: Who's that?
Severing: Hopefully by end of Sept
Betances: Same as above
Montgomery: Don't hold your breath
Voit: I think he is done for the year
Hicks: who knows
Sabathia see above
RE: What is the timetable if any on the following injured players
CC is the closest of all these guys. He's not going to require a rehab assignment - they'll just re-insert him into the rotation.
He's really toughing it out - he's going to be in a ton of pain regardless. It's just basically that it's either mildly tolerable - or crippling to the point where he just can't pitch effectively.
But, he did throw a BP session and felt reasonably well - so he appears to be pretty close.
Stanton was transferred to the 60-day, which seemed to cause some panic or spread the notion that his season is over. It's not - this is just bookkeeping to open up a roster spot. It'll be retroactive, so he'll still be eligible to come off before the end of the regular season and they expect that they'll see him again in September.
Severino just did a 25-30 pitch BP on Friday, IIRC - and said he felt better than he expected. Not sure if the Yanks are going to go with a plan that has Severino ramp himself up out of the pen or has him do it in Scranton - but as of now, barring a setback, the expectation is that Severino could potentially be stretched back out and ready to pitch as a starter by late-Sept.
Betances is sort of close to Severino as far as progress goes. His timetable is probably similar.
I'm not sure I'd expect much (if anything) from Montgomery this year - but Loaisiga appears to be close to returning.
Voit is going to depend on whether or not he needs surgery.
Surgery means season over. So, we'll have to hope he can avoid that.
Eddy will be back this year - but he's going to need about a month.
Hicks is progressing a bit, but I don't believe there's a timetable on him yet.
RE: What is the timetable if any on the following injured players
I dont think as it stands now you can count on Sevy and Betances for the post season if it is late September.
Worse injury season that I can remember for the Yankees.
What a miraculous year for DJLM, Gio and Tauchman.
Also great year for German.
Judge needs to get straightened out for postseason.
I have really enjoyed watching this Yankee team play this year.
Boone should be coach of the year IMHO
Go Yankees
But I can see a scenario where they use him in tandem with German, who will reach his inning limit shortly. Severino for 3-4 innings and then German for 2-3 could combine to be a pretty awesome duo.

Dellin Betances threw 17 fastballs amd 3 breaking balls today. "It's coming out good," he said with a big smile. Will throw 25 pitches on Thursday and is looking forward to being part of the stretch run. "The fun part is about to start." #Yankees

As you can imagine I dont get slot of news on Yankees down here in Dallas.
But on a side note, slot of Yankees fans have moved into North Texas.
Love talking baseball with Yankee fans.

Luis Severino said he felt strong after his bullpen today. No issues physically. Ball continues to come out a little better than expected considering time off. Expects to throw one more pen.... then face hitters #yankees
trying to get off injured reserve. They may struggle at first but we sure can use the reinforcements. Exciting to think about a full team. Obviously, even two or three makes us better.
I practically salivate at the thought of adding Dellin
Update on Ellsbury 😀. Seriously though all of the Yankees that have been on the IL have at one time or another been with the team. We have seen even Montgomery in the dugout. Ellsbury has not once been with them. Very strange situation.
I think we can write Baltimore off for the season.
Hah... I think we were safely able to write them off long before today.
At this point, we're in great shape division-wise, but the wins are still very important because we're going to want home field if we eventually wind up meeting the 'Stros in the ALCS.
Needless to say, there's a very long road between here and there, but.... there's no time for the Yanks to take their feet off the gas. Have to keep the pedal down. I want at least 3 of 4 here vs. this O's team.
The way I think of it is that Andujar is a hitter first. He's not a thirdbaseman. Between DJ and Gio, we have third covered. So, if they can salvage him at DH or 1B, they should keep him. His bat is too good and he's too young to let go.
RE: Why would you trade Andujar when his value is low?
They certainly could. He's a fantastic hitter. I think people are too willing to just sell him off now.
The fit will be tough. You'd love to have the DH more open for him, but if the Yanks decide they want to pick up the option on Eddy, that's going to be nearly impossible. They'll need to use that spot for either of the 1B's or for Stanton... meaning a DH spot for Miggy full time is going to be hard.
It's not an easy decision.... but Urshela is really giving them no choice but to play him @ 3B nearly every day going forward.
But they're not going to just give Miggy away and I think they'll try to find a way to keep him if they can. Trading him this winter would be selling low, IMO... I don't know if I see Cashman doing that.

Welp.....
Stanton is working out and hitting on a tee. No setbacks is a form of progress in itself.
Severino threw off a mound Friday for the first time since March and they said he feels great.
Betances will throw from a mound for the first time in months today. Cross your fingers.
Haven't heard any updates on Montgomery since he was shut down a while ago. Don't expect him to return this year.
Voit, they still haven't decided on surgery yet. He's working out but not doing any baseball activities yet.
Sabathia was supposed to throw a bullpen session yesterday, don't know how it went.
Hicks won't throw for a couple of more days and then they'll see how he feels.
Worse injury season that I can remember for the Yankees.

Use a starter!
Not ideal from a PC standpoint, but you can live with 1 run there.
Unreal.

Relax, they're facing Gabriel Ynoa. It's already a two run lead now before there's a single out.
Hell yeah!
In August.
