Yankees' Domingo German: Targeting weekend return from IL

Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that the team is hoping German (shoulder) will be able to be activated from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming weekend series against Cleveland, Marly Rivera of ESPN.com reports.

The Yankees are going to wait to see how German responds to his rehab outing Tuesday before officially determining when he'll be activated. The right-hander initially landed on the IL in late July with a right rotator cuff strain, and he later faced a setback in his recovery when soreness returned in mid-August. He's expected to rejoin the New York bullpen once activated.
