Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate, had a few major names continuing their rehabs in Wednesday's game.

Loaisiga made his first Triple-A appearance this season on Wednesday and was dominant. The right-hander pitched two scoreless innings, allowing just one hit and striking out two batters. Loaisiga pitched three games with Single-A prior to being moved to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In those appearances, he pitched 3.1 innings while allowing one run on two hits while striking out seven batters.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said that there's currently no plan for the 30-year-old to rejoin the team on their upcoming West Coast trip, but the skipper wants Loaisiga to make six appearances, with the last one on consecutive days before the team deems him ready.
As for LeMahieu, the veteran infielder continued his impressive rehab outing. LeMahieu went 2-for-3 in his first Triple-A outing. In seven games playing with Double-A and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, LeMahieu is 9-for-19 with a home run, a double and three RBI.

Boone has raved about LeMahieu's progress, and wanted to re-evaluate how LeMahieu is feeling after two rehab games in Triple-A. Once LeMahieu plays one more game, the Yankees could potentially activate him for the upcoming West Coast road trip that starts Friday.
With Jazz Chisholm Jr. out for weeks with an oblique, the Yankees are looking to use LeMahieu primarily at second base alongside youngster Jorbit Vivas.
Everson Pereira had a notable game, going 2-for-4 with a two-run shot. The outfielder is hitting .295 with Triple-A this season. Also, Bryan De La Cruz launched his first home run with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. The recently acquired outfielder went 1-for-3 on Wednesday and is 3-for-14 in four games with the RailRiders this season.

Yankees' Weaver has PRP injection in hamstring; Stanton could start minor league rehab next week
NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees closer Luke Weaver had a platelet rich plasma injection in his injured left hamstring, and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is on track to start a minor league rehabilitation assignment next week. Weaver was hurt Sunday while warming up at the Los Angeles Dodger s. He is projected to be sidelined for four to six weeks. The PRP is designed to speed healing. 'He was out already throwing yesterday. He'll be doing his throwing program today,' New York manager Aaron Boone said before Friday's series opener against the Boston Red Sox. 'He's pretty encouraged and optimistic considering the injury and the timeline with it, so hopefully he does better than that.' Weaver is 1-1 with a 1.05 ERA and eight saves in nine chances. The 31-year-old right-hander can become a free agent this autumn. Stanton has been sidelined since before spring training by epicondylitis causing elbow pain, a repetitive stress injury. 'I still think rehab's in play next week. He's staying down in Tampa again, more live ABs and full workouts and running and all that,' Boone said. 'Probably stay through the weekend.' Stanton hit .233 with 27 homers and 72 RBIs last year, missing 28 games because of a strained left hamstring that sidelined him between June 22 and July 29. He has not played a full season since 2018, the first year after New York acquired him from the Miami Marlins. Entering 2025, he had missed 294 of 870 games in the previous six seasons (34%) because of a strained right biceps and strained posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee (2019), strained left hamstring (2020), strained left quadriceps (2021), right ankle inflammation and left Achilles tendinitis (2022) and strained left hamstring (2023 and '24). ___ AP baseball:

Reds activate Christian Encarnacion-Strand from IL. What it means for the roster
Christian Encarnacion-Strand is back up with the Cincinnati Reds and in the starting lineup. In order to make room for "CES," the Reds seem likely to lose out on having catcher Austin Wynns' services. Encarnacion-Strand was activated Friday off the injured list, the Reds announced Friday. Encarnacion-Strand had been on the IL since April 17 (back inflammation). "CES" batted .324 with a 1.095 OPS in his 10-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville. His hot hitting at that level included two home runs, five doubles and seven RBIs. Advertisement Reds Elly De La Cruz Diamondbacks Reds' Elly De La Cruz is returning from mourning his sister's death. Here's what we know Reds Diamondbacks Friday how to watch What channel are the Reds on? How to watch Reds vs. Diamondbacks on Friday night Reds trade W&W: Cincinnati Reds going nowhere fast, need to trade players even faster "We'll see. He was swinging the bat very well on his rehab while he was in Triple-A," Reds manager Terry Francona said Friday. "If he's able to stay in the strike zone, he's got kinda silly power to all fields. That would be welcome. It maybe allows us to start moving (Spencer) Steer around because when he's healthy enough to do it, maybe it gives us a few more options." Christian Encarnacion-Strand batted .324 with a 1.095 OPS in his 10-game rehab assignment at Triple-A Louisville. His hit two home runs with five doubles and seven RBIs. Following his own early-season injury troubles, Steer has been stuck at first base. Advertisement The corresponding roster move with bringing Encarnacion-Strand back was designating Wynns for assignment. In the absence of the since-recalled Tyler Stephenson (oblique strain), Wynns served as the backup catcher to Jose Trevino, who was the projected backup ahead of spring training. Wynns more than held his own behind the plate and with a bat in his hand − so much so that the Reds opted to carry three catchers on their roster when Stephenson returned from injury. In 18 games this season, Wynns hit .400 with 16 hits and 11 RBI. But he was squeezed in terms of playing time with three catchers on the roster. In May, Wynns was used mostly as a late-inning catcher or pinch hitter, and had just seven at-bats during the month. Austin Wynns, whose playing time was limited after Tyler Stephenson returned from the injured list, was designated for assignment to clear a roster spot for Christian Encarnacion-Strand. Other clubs now have the opportunity to add Wynns, and the Reds will understand if that happens. In some ways, Francona seems to be rooting for the individual because of his professionalism, and because it seems obvious Wynns has more to offer than he can with Cincinnati at the moment. Advertisement "You know what, he deserves it and I would love to keep him in the organization and we told him that," Francona said, "I'm not even comfortable saying 'fingers crossed' because the guy deserves to be in the major leagues. He handled a really (crappy) thing really well. He is (a pro). He was and is and will be." This article originally appeared on Cincinnati Enquirer: Reds activate Christian Encarnacion-Strand from IL.
