NYY News: Stanton looms
CBS Sports | Matt Snyder: Giancarlo Stanton is nearing a return to live action. Stanton has been taking BP this week and Aaron Boone told reporters that Stanton could 'potentially' start a rehab assignment next week. It's unclear how long the Yankees would want Stanton to rehab in the minors. Once Stanton does return, it could produce a bit of a logjam, with Ben Rice and Paul Goldschmidt both standing to see Stanton eat into their at-bats.
ESPN: Oswaldo Cabrera expressed hope that he could still return to the Yankees this season. 'They told me that it's a small possibility,' Cabrera said before Thursday's game against Cleveland. 'That is a small possibility, but a small possibility that I trust that one. So I'm a very optimistic guy that feels like good things can be on my way. So we're going to work to get back soon.' Cabrera suffered a gruesome ankle injury last month in Seattle and currently has his left leg elevated on a scooter in a walking boot.

New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Jasson Domínguez is back and 'good to go', said Boone. The 22-year-old outfielder suffered a left thumb contusion after jamming his thumb trying to steal a base Sunday night in Los Angeles. Domínguez missed two games with the injury, but looked OK during batting practice on Wednesday and was back in the lineup hitting seventh on Thursday.
Yahoo Sports | Kristie Ackert: Boone said Thursday that the Yankees were building Marcus Stroman up as a starter as he rehabs from a knee injury. Stroman has been throwing live BP as he nears the start of a rehab assignment. Though the Yankees say he'll he built up as a starter, there's currently no room in their starting five. Stroman said before the season that he wouldn't shift to the bullpen, and there's certainly a chance that an injury elsewhere thrusts Stroman back into the rotation, but as of now he's on the outside looking in.

Yankees' Austin Wells has big four-RBI night — but still falters in key spot
Austin Wells homered for the Yankees on Saturday, but he still struck out in a key spot. Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free This year has mostly been a struggle for Austin Wells, who began to live up to his promise last season before falling in the latter part of the year. Advertisement And even on a night when the catcher had perhaps his most productive night of the year, it ended in disappointment in a 10-7 loss to Boston. After Wells kept the Yankees in the game with a three-run homer and an RBI double off tough left-hander Garrett Crochet earlier in the game, the lefty-swinging Wells came up short with a chance to tie it in the bottom of the eighth, when he struck out against former Yankee southpaw Justin Wilson, stranding pinch runner Anthony Volpe at second base to end the inning. Austin Wells rounds the bases after hitting a three-run homer during the second inning of the Yankees' 10-7 loss to the Red Sox on June 7, 2025. Robert Sabo for the NY Post Still, maybe his success against Crochet will spark the lefty-swinging catcher. 'I expect so much of him offensively and think so much of him offensively,' Aaron Boone said. 'He's capable of that right there against the very best left-on-left.' Advertisement Wells gave the Yankees their lone lead of the night with a three-run blast off Crochet — who had allowed just one homer to a left-handed hitter all season prior to Saturday night. Austin Wells reacts after striking out in the eighth inning of the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox. Corey Sipkin for the NY POST But Wells couldn't coerce another solid start from Ryan Yarbrough, who has been a surprisingly strong revelation since arriving in spring training after opting out of his deal with the Blue Jays in March. After Yarbrough was knocked around for five runs in the top of the third and two more in the fourth, Wells tried to get the Yankees back in the game in the bottom of the fourth, this time with a booming double the other way to left-center.

CHECK OUT THE LATEST MLB STANDINGS AND YANKEES STATS Austin Wells celebrates after hitting a three-run home run during the Yankees' loss to the Red Sox. Robert Sabo for the NY Post 'I got two pitches to handle,'' said Wells, who is hitting the ball harder than he has previously in his career, but doesn't have a lot to show for it. Although he has 10 homers, his average has hovered slightly above .200 for most of the season. With Carlos Narváez in town with the Red Sox after being traded by the Yankees in the offseason and off to a start that has put him in the conversation for the American League All-Star team, Wells' shaky offensive output has been highlighted more of late. The Yankees are steadfast in their belief that Wells will live up to his potential on offense, as he has continued to impress behind the plate. 'Hopefully it's those little things that kind of get him rolling to where he gets hot,'' Boone said of Wells' at-bats on Saturday.

Aaron Judge's all-time dominance makes this Triple Crown pursuit unique
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now The 52nd anniversary of Secretariat winning the Belmont Stakes by 31 lengths to secure the Triple Crown was last week, and more than a half century later it remains the standard in sports used when the field is dominated. Aaron Judge is doing a pretty good version of Secretariat in 2025. He is running away from his contemporaries and toward history. He is not overwhelming in all the traditional Triple Crown categories. After his dramatic ninth-inning home run Friday night off of Boston's Garrett Crochet, he led the AL or was tied for the lead in batting average, homers and RBIs. But within the more modern 'slash' Triple Crown, he is creating quite a distance to the runners-up (all stats were going into the weekend for qualified MLB hitters, not just one league or the other):

Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet happy to ‘live and die with my best pitch' against Aaron Judge
BOSTON — The Red Sox have had a chance in games whenever Garrett Crochet has been on the mound this season. And with the exception of one pitch in Friday's 2-1, extra-inning win over the Yankees, he again proved to be the antidote to Yankees slugger Aaron Judge. Crochet held New York scoreless over a career-high 8 1/3 innings, striking out the Yankees slugger three times while holding the rest of New York's lineup to four hits with seven total Ks. But with Boston clinging to a 1-0 lead and Crochet back on the hill to try to finish the game in the ninth, his fourth time facing Judge proved costly. Crochet took him to a full count, but let his 99 mph fastball dip down in the strike zone — Judge's sweet spot. He jumped on it, blasting it 443 feet over the Green Monster and out of Fenway Park to tie the game. 'I'm going to live and die with my best pitch,' Crochet said afterward. 'Whether it be pitch selection or execution, tough way to end it. But overall, I felt really good tonight.' It helped that Crochet's partner throughout the night — catcher and former Yankee Carlos Narváez — helped put a happy face on the night, when he ended the game with a walk-off single in the 10th. Crochet didn't get the victory, but Narváez said it didn't diminish his masterful night on the mound. For the season, Judge is just 1 for 7 with six strikeouts against Crochet. 'Crochet was awesome,' Narváez said. 'He made a mistake a little bit. But that was a 100 mph fastball. That was impressive. ... Probably the best pitcher now against the best hitter in baseball.' Red Sox manager Alex Cora said he has no regrets leaving Crochet in the game. 'That wasn't fun. But our guy was throwing great,' Cora said. 'He was efficient toward the end. We gave him a shot. It didn't work out. That's why (Judge) is who he is. One of the best in world, and he got one pitch down and he hit it out of the ballpark. You tip your hat.' Though he acknowledged he'd probably lose sleep over Judge's last at-bat, Crochet was proud of his overall outing. 'It was a special feeling jogging back out there. Standing (ovation). I could tell the fans wanted me out there,' Crochet said. 'I already wanted to be out there pretty bad. But it made it mean a little bit more. It made me grab a little bit more in that inning. I wish I could have finished it out. ... If my night had to end there from a home run I'm at least glad that it was on a fastball.'
