TAMPA, Fla. (AP) Edwin Encarnacion is hoping to return to the New York Yankees on Wednesday, and catcher Gary Sanchez could be back right after him.
Encarnacion and Sanchez both worked out at New York’s minor league complex in Tampa on Monday’s off day. Encarnacion is coming back from a strained left oblique, and Sanchez is rehabbing a strained left groin.
The AL East champion Yankees, who are battling Houston and the Los Angeles Dodgers for the majors’ best record, open a two-game series Tuesday night at wild-card contender Tampa Bay.
Encarnacion ran, played catch and hit in an indoor cage. The designated hitter said he felt good.
Sanchez ran the bases, did some defensive work, and took batting practice in an indoor cage and also on the field.
