Relief pitcher (shoulder) set to return after completing rehab assignment, per Aaron Boone
Tommy Kahnle could be making his final rehab appearance today. If all goes well, Aaron Boone said they’ll look to activate Kahnle on Wednesday.Kahnle started 2024 on the 15-day IL with right shoulder inflammation and hasn’t pitched in a regular-season game since last season.
New York’s bullpen hasn’t suffered without Kahnle. In fact, the Yankees bullpen leads Major League Baseball in ERA , BAA and WPA entering Sunday. New York’s starting pitching without 2023 American League Cy Young Award winner ace Gerrit Cole isn’t bad either, and combined the unit leads MLB with 3.23 runs allowed per game.Boone's distribution of bullpen work has been largely praised this season. The emergence of Luis Gil has made his managerial duties slightly easier.
Closer Clay Holmes is leading the charge with an All-Star caliber first half so far, allowing three runs in 19.1 innings and 13 saves. Three of the AL’s current top scoreless inning streaks include Yankees pitchers – Holmes, starter Clarke Schmidt and reliever Luke Weaver .The 34-year old Kahnle in his second stint in The Bronx will turn 35 on August 7.
The Yankees currently own the second-best record in baseball behind the Philadelphia Phillies and sit atop the AL East, two games ahead of the second-place Baltimore Orioles . New York has won five consecutive games – tied for its longest stretch of the season with the five victories in a row to start the season and from May 3-8 – and aim for a sixth straight in an attempt to sweep the Chicago White Sox at Yankee Stadium on Sunday.
