New York Yankees

The New York Yankees, mired in an offensive funk since losing Aaron Judge to the injured list, got some good news on the injury front on Tuesday.

Per Jon Morosi of MLB Network:

Two significant updates from Yankees this afternoon:

 Harrison Bader reinstated from 10-day IL. 

Carlos Rodón begins his rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset. 

@MLBNetwork

Bader injured himself against the Seattle Mariners back at the end of May and will ironically be activated in time to play the Mariners again tonight when the two teams start a new series at 7:05 p.m. ET.

Bader is hitting .267 this season with six home runs and 19 RBI. He's added six stolen bases.

For his career, he's a .246 hitter with 58 homers and 196 RBI.

He made his major league debut with the St. Louis Cardinals in 2017 and stayed there until being traded to the Yankees in 2022.

As for Rodon, the team has been waiting for him to make his debut since he signed a massive six-year deal this offseason. He went down at the end of spring training with forearm problems and then battled back issues during his rehab.

He spent 2022 with the San Francisco Giants, and it turned out to be the year that earned him the lucrative $162 million payday. He went 14-8 with a 2.88 ERA. He made the All-Star team in the National League and struck out 237 batters in 178.0 innings.

Rodon started his career with the Chicago White Sox, pitching seven years on the Southside. He has a lifetime 3.60 ERA to go along with a 56-46 record. He made the All-Star game in both 2021 and 2022 and received Cy Young votes in each of those years.
