Injury update for the Yankees
The club has been without Angel Chivilli since August 2 due to injury. On Wednesday, the team provided the latest status on the 24-year-old pitcher. He has resumed throwing, with manager Aaron Boone noting that “so far, so good,” and indicating that Chivilli could still be an option in the near future. The latest word suggests he could return next month.
Chivilli had appeared in 15 games this season before his injury, posting a 3.78 ERA. This marks his third MLB season, and his first with the Yankees, after previously spending two seasons with the Colorado Rockies. The Yankees announced the trade earlier in the year, acquiring the right-hander from Colorado in exchange for minor league infielder T.J. Rumfield.
Looking at the Yankees right now
The Yankees sit in second place in the American League East with a 75-57 record through 132 games, 3.5 games back of the Tampa Bay Rays for the division lead. After one more game against the Astros, they will host the Boston Red Sox in a high-profile series starting Friday night.
Key note
The team continues to monitor pitching depth as it pushes toward late-season contention, with hopes of reinforcements returning from injury to bolster the rotation down the stretch. The schedule remains packed, with important divisional and regional implications as the pennant race progresses.
