CHICAGO — Anthony Rizzo underwent a follow-up scan on his arm this week that revealed some good news, but not quite enough of it to advance to the next step in his recovery.
The veteran first baseman, who suffered an arm fracture in mid-June, had some healing in the arm, “but still some more to go,” manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday at Guaranteed Rate Field.
Rizzo had been ramping back up in recent weeks, including taking live at-bats against Clarke Schmidt last week at Yankee Stadium and can continue his baseball activities, per Boone. But it did not sound like a rehab assignment was on the horizon just yet.
“He’s doing pretty well and feels good about all the things he’s doing,” Boone said. “But we gotta make sure we get fully healed to where he’s not in danger if he falls again or something like that.”
Before Tuesday’s game against the White Sox, Boone said he still did not know his pitching plans for Wednesday’s series finale.
Much of it depended on how much length Nestor Cortes could give them on Tuesday night, which factored into whether they could potentially pull off a bullpen game on Wednesday.
But Will Warren was also scratched from his scheduled start at Triple-A on Tuesday to serve as insurance in case he is needed for a spot start.
He would not have been eligible to be called back up yet by Wednesday — it had not been 15 days since he was last optioned — unless he were replacing a player going on the injured list, which the Yankees now have in Jazz Chisholm Jr.
Even if Warren is called up, the Yankees would still need to send a pitcher out to satisfy having the maximum of 13 arms on their 26-man active roster.
Ian Hamilton (lat strain) is set to advance to throwing live batting practice this week, the next step in his recovery. … Jose Trevino was scheduled to continue his rehab assignment on Tuesday and Wednesday at Double-A Somerset before the Yankees reassess. … Pitching prospect Chase Hampton landed on the Double-A injured list Tuesday with a groin issue.
Alex Rodriguez headlines the list of first-time attendees — along with CC Sabathia — for this year’s Old-Timers’ Day on Aug. 24 at Yankee Stadium.
But instead of a game, the Yankees will again host a Q&A (hosted by Suzyn Waldman and Joe Girardi) while honoring their 2009 World Series championship team, including Derek Jeter.
A notable exception from the list of attendees released by the Yankees on Tuesday was Brett Gardner, who has not been heard from since playing his last game as a Yankee in the 2021 AL wild-card game at Fenway Park.
