We have the latest update from MLB regarding the complete rundown of the Yankees injured list, in alphabetical order by last name:
1 – Miguel Andújar, 3B
Expected return: May (or Spring Training 2020)
Andujar is attempting to avoid season-ending surgery on his partially torn right labrum.
Miguel injured while diving into third base on March 31 against the Orioles.
2 – Dellin Betances, RHP
Expected return: June
Betances did not show his usual velocity during Spring Training, prompting the club to place him on the injured list after discovering a right shoulder impingement.
Betances expects to be cleared to resume throwing on May 4. From there, Betances could return to the Majors in three to four weeks.
3 – Greg Bird, 1B
Expected return: May or June
Having fallen behind Luke Voit on the depth chart at first base, Bird is shaping up to be another disappointing campaign for the 26-year-old, who will wear a protective boot for a week to 10 days before being re-evaluated.
The 26-year-old, Bird who will wear a protective boot for a week to 10 days before being re-evaluated.
4 – Jacoby Ellsbury, OF
Expected return: TBD
Ellsbury has not played in a Major League game since October 2017 due to a series of injuries.
The most prominent of which was arthroscopic surgery to repair his left hip labrum last August.
He reported to Spring Training on March 17, but has been limited to running on the field and “doing some stuff with tee and toss,” according to Boone.
5 – Didi Gregorius, SS
Expected return: June, July or August
Gregorius tore his right ulnar collateral ligament in Game 2 of the American League Division Series against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
Then Didi played in the next two games before undergoing Tommy John surgery.
Gregorius is hitting in the batting cages and making infield throws at the Tampa complex. He is still recovering.
6 – Ben Heller, RHP
Expected return: June
Heller had Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow last April and has been steadily recovering.
The hurler is throwing off bullpen mounds as he aims to become a depth option in New York.
7 – Aaron Hicks, CF
Expected return: May
Hicks initially complained of back discomfort on March 1.
Two cortisone injections later, he was diagnosed with “chronic back pain,” which limited him to the treadmill and core strengthening exercises.
8 – Jordan Montgomery, LHP
Expected return: July
“Gumby” underwent Tommy John surgery on his pitching elbow last June and has been working toward potentially rejoining the Yankees’ big league rotation after the All-Star break.
He has already returned to the mound for Spring training but is still building strength and velocity in Tampa.
9 – Gary Sánchez, C
Expected return: Possibly April 21
Recovering from a left calf strain, Sanchez caught a bullpen, ran, hit and threw on the field Friday.
The Yankees want to see him catch a few innings in a Minor League rehab game.
It looks like Sanchez should be activated during their upcoming road trip.
10 – Luis Severino, RHP
Expected return: July
Initially sidelined with right rotator cuff inflammation in early March, Severino long-tossed for weeks but never felt comfortable enough to progress to a mound.
An April 9 MRI revealed a Grade 2 strain of the latissimus muscle on the right side of his body. Severino is not expected to throw again until at least May 21.
11 – Giancarlo Stanton, OF
Expected return: Late April/early May
Stanton sustained a Grade 1 strain of his left biceps swinging the bat on March 31 against the Orioles.
Giancarlo will probably need at least one Minor League rehab game, there is a chance he could play during the road trip.
12 – Troy Tulowitzki, SS
Expected return: May/June
Tulowitzki had not appeared in a big league game since July 2017.
He played in five to open this season before landing on the injured list again, sustaining a left calf strain on April 3 against the Tigers.
