Matt Carpenter was good enough to homer off Nestor Cortes in live batting practice on Saturday at Yankee Stadium.
“I fully expect that,’’ Aaron Boone said of Carpenter being on the roster for the ALDS when the Yankees play the Guardians on Tuesday in The Bronx. “He looks great. He’s been getting all his live at-bats.”“I feel like I’m ready,’’ Carpenter said. “Just the way I feel physically and have been able to get some at-bats here recently and have competitive at-bats.”While he is good to go at the plate, it’s unclear if Carpenter will be able to play the field.
Andrew Benintendi, who is out with a fractured hook of the hamate bone in his right wrist, is “a long shot” for the ALDS, according to Boone.“He is getting close,” Boone said. “He is starting to hit some live [pitching] and is getting better every day.”
