Frankie Montas Not Expected To Return This Year

New York Yankees right-hander Frankie Montas (shoulder) remains in a throwing program at the team's minor-league complex in Florida, and it doesn't sound as though he's going to make it back to the big leagues in 2023. Montas hasn't made any significant progress since having arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder way back in February. […]

Nestor Cortes Won't Throw For 3-4 Weeks

New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder), who landed on the 15-day injured list on Friday, said he won't throw for the next three to four weeks, but he's still hoping to return this year.

DJ LeMahieu Still Not Ready To Return

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) remains sidelined for Friday's contest against the Miami Marlins.

LeMahieu was scratched from Wednesday's lineup with right-calf tightness and will remain off the […]

Nestor Cortes Goes Back On Injured List

The New York Yankees placed left-hander Nestor Cortes (shoulder) on the 15-day injured list (retroactive to Aug. 8) on Friday with a left rotator-cuff strain and recalled right-handers Jhony Brito and Randy Vasquez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in corresponding moves. Cortes looked good in his first start back from the injured list last Saturday, but he'll […]

DJ LeMahieu Scratched On Wednesday

New York Yankees infielder DJ LeMahieu (calf) has been scratched from Wednesday's starting lineup against the Chicago White Sox.
