Yankees manager Aaron Boone provided updates regarding injury recovery for players Luke Weaver and Giancarlo Stanton. Weaver, sidelined by a left hamstring strain, is showing positive progress after receiving a PRP injection and resuming throwing. Boone expressed optimism about Weaver's recovery, which could benefit the team if he returns earlier than expected. Meanwhile, Stanton is close to returning to on-field action after recovering from elbow injuries, with a potential rehab assignment planned for next week as he continues to build back to game shape.
[We] like the early stages of where he's at and how he's expressing to me how he feels. He's pretty encouraged and optimistic considering the injury and the timeline with it.
It would obviously be great news for New York if the right-hander can return sooner rather than later.
A rehab [assignment's] in play next week. Stanton has been recovering from torn tendons in both elbows, and since these injuries cost him all of Spring Training.
He's become not just a high-leverage arm but a ninth-inning answer in each of the last two years.
