Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Return date still TBD
Rotowire
The Yankees have yet to decide whether Volpe (shoulder) will be activated from the 10-day injured list for their series this weekend against the Orioles, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reported Sunday that Volpe would rejoin the Yankees this week, and while that could still happen, it appears the decision has yet to be made. Volpe is slashing .308/.333/.423 with one home run, two stolen bases and a 1:7 BB:K in his first eight rehab games. He's currently at Double-A Somerset and will continue his rehab there until the Yankees decide when to activate their shortstop.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Awaiting MRI results
Rotowire
Stanton (calf) could still be placed on the 10-day injured list, pending the results of an MRI he underwent Monday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Stanton will miss a third straight start Monday against the Rangers due to a right calf injury he suffered Friday versus the Astros. The Yankees will wait until after Monday's contest to make a decision on an IL move. Jasson Dominguez is starting at designated hitter Monday in Stanton's stead and would be in line for regular playing time if Stanton's absence is extended.

Yankees' Carlos Rodon: Taking rehab to Double-A
Rotowire
Rodon (elbow) is scheduled to make his next rehab start Thursday with Double-A Somerset, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Rodon made his first rehab outing Friday with High-A Hudson, when he allowed one hit and one walk while striking out four batters across 4.1 scoreless innings. The shift to Double-A is a promising sign for the veteran southpaw's timeline as he continues to recover from surgery in October to remove loose bodies and shave down a bone spur from his left elbow. With a couple more rehab starts on tap, Rodon is trending toward making his 2026 season debut in early-to-mid May.

Yankees' Gerrit Cole: Shifting rehab back to Double-A
Rotowire
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Cole (elbow) will pitch in a rehab game with Double-A Somerset on Wednesday, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
Cole opened his rehab assignment in Double-A before shifting to High-A Hudson this past Thursday, when he allowed two runs on five hits while striking out four batters across 4.1 innings. Given that Cole is on the 15-day injured list, the 35-year-old right-hander is eligible to be activated when fully recovered from the Tommy John surgery that he underwent in March of 2025, which could happen after a couple more rehab outings.

Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Starting at DH, batting sixth
Rotowire
Dominguez will start at designated hitter and bat sixth in Monday's game versus the Rangers.
Dominguez is slotting in at DH in place of the injured Giancarlo Stanton (calf). The Yankees have resisted placing Stanton on the injured list for now, with the hope that he will be able to return to action at some point this week. Dominguez should play regularly for as long as Stanton is sidelined. The former has slashed .326/.415/.478 with three home runs, eight stolen bases and a 13:16 BB:K at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this season.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Avoiding injured list for now
Rotowire
Stanton (calf) will not be placed on the 10-day injured list prior to Monday's game versus the Rangers, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Stanton has not played since exiting Friday's game against the Astros with right calf soreness and will remain out Monday. The Yankees recalled Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday for some protection while Stanton recuperates, but the club hopes Stanton is able to play later this week. Fantasy managers would still be wise to play it safe and put Stanton on their bench if they have viable alternatives.

Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Added to big-league roster
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled Dominguez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.
Dominguez earned a promotion following a red-hot start with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, having slashed .326/.415/.478 with three home runs, eight stolen bases and a 13:16 BB:K. The switch hitter should see regular starts while Giancarlo Stanton (leg) is banged up, though Stanton remains on the active roster for now. If Stanton is able to avoid the injured list, Dominguez's stint with the big club could be brief.

Yankees' Ryan Yarbrough: Blanks in appearance
Rotowire
Yarbrough pitched a perfect inning while striking out two batters in a 7-4 loss to Houston on Sunday.
Yarbrough entered the game in the eighth inning, striking out both Christian Walker and Cam Smith en route to a scoreless inning. Prior to the series against Houston, the 34-year-old had struggled in his previous two appearances, allowing a combined five earned runs over 3.1 innings pitched. The left-hander has not seen much volume, appearing in only seven games through the first month of the season for New York.

Yankees' Paul DeJong: Will opt out if not promoted
Rotowire
DeJong informed the Yankees on Monday that he will opt out of his minor-league contract at the end of April if he's not promoted to the majors, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
DeJong has posted a .900 OPS with six home runs over 22 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. However, with Anthony Volpe (shoulder) poised for activation from the injured list this week, the Yankees may have a tough time squeezing DeJong onto the big-league roster.
Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Decision on IL stint coming Monday
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that the Yankees will make a decision on Stanton, who is nursing right calf soreness, before Monday's game versus the Rangers, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Stanton made an early exit from Friday's game against Houston and hasn't played since. While the team hasn't yet announced whether the veteran slugger will need an IL stint, a clue may have been dropped with the news that outfielder Jasson Dominguez is set to be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Fantasy managers who roster Stanton should get a definitive answer on whether he'll be placed on the IL ahead of Monday's 6:05 PM ET contest in Texas.

Yankees' Anthony Volpe: Likely to return during coming week
Rotowire
Volpe (shoulder) is slated to join the Yankees "between Wednesday and Thursday," Francys Romero of BeisbolFR.com reports.
Volpe is eight games into a rehab stint that has been split between Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The soon-to-be 25-year-old has looked good so far, slashing .308/.333/.423 with a home run, three RBI and two stolen bases, though he's also posted a 1:7 BB:K. Per Romero, Volpe is expected to play a couple more games with Somerset before making his long-awaited return to the big-league club "between" Wednesday and Thursday. The Yankees have an early game Wednesday and are off Thursday, so it sounds like Volpe's season debut won't come until at least Friday against Baltimore. Once he's activated, Volpe is likely to start regularly at shortstop, which could cut into Jose Caballero's playing time considerably.
Yankees' Jasson Dominguez: Set to join major-league roster
Rotowire
Dominguez is expected to be called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Dominguez will join the Yankees ahead of the team's three-game series on the road against the Rangers. The outfielder has started the season red-hot at the Triple-A level, producing a .326 average with three home runs, 15 RBI, 15 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 92 at-bats in 24 contests. Dominguez will provide New York with an additional option in the outfield due to Giancarlo Stanton (calf) being banged up, and it's possible that Stanton is headed for a stint on the injured list.

Yankees' Aaron Judge: Blasts 10th homer Sunday
Rotowire
Judge went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 7-4 loss to the Astros.
Judge tagged Astros right-hander Spencer Arrighetti for his 10th long ball of the season in the sixth inning, his first extra-base hit since April 19.. The superstar outfielder hasn't been hitting for a high average, but he's supplied plenty of pop so far. Judge is slashing .230/.369/.560 with 13 extra-base hits, 18 RBI, 21 walks and five stolen bases over 123 plate appearances.
Yankees' Luis Gil: Sent back to Triple-A after start
Rotowire
Gil was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after his start Sunday against the Astros.
Gil was tagged with a loss after he tossed four innings, allowing six runs on five hits and three walks in Sunday's 7-4 defeat in Houston. The right-hander was coming off a scoreless outing in Boston, tossing 6.1 innings while striking out two Tuesday, but he couldn't repeat his success versus the Astros. Gil now owns a 1-2 record while posting a 6.05 ERA and 1.34 WHIP with nine punchouts over 19.1 innings in four starts with New York in 2026. He will now have to wait for his next chance with the big-league squad.

Yankees' Giancarlo Stanton: Absent from lineup again Sunday
Rotowire
Stanton (calf) isn't starting Sunday against Houston.
This will be the second straight game on the shelf for Stanton after he was pulled from Friday's contest versus Houston due to right calf tightness. Manager Aaron Boone was ambiguous when discussing Stanton's injury Saturday, saying the issue is "not ideal" and adding, "But that doesn't mean great or terrible," per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News. It isn't yet clear if a stint on the injured list is ahead for Stanton, who has been New York's primary DH this season. Ben Rice is getting a start in that slot Sunday.

Yankees' Austin Wells: Slugs long ball Saturday
Rotowire
Wells went 2-for-3 with a solo home run, an additional RBI and two walks against Houston in Saturday's 8-3 victory.
Wells swatted a solo homer in the seventh inning to break a 2-2 tie and added a run-scoring single in the ninth. This was arguably the catcher's best offensive game this season -- it was the first time he's reached base four times through 22 contests, and the long ball was his first since Opening Day. It's been a rough start to the campaign for Wells, as he's carrying a .635 OPS with two homers and four RBI across 80 plate appearances. However, Wells has propped up his contributions by posting a 15:14 BB:K, leading him to an acceptable .338 OBP.
