“#Yankees’ Zack Britton gets positive hamstring diagnosis<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Yankees continued to get encouraging news<\/a> on Zack Britton after the reliever\u2019s latest injury.<\/p>\n

An MRI exam Monday revealed a \u201cGrade 1\/1-plus\u201d hamstring strain, manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday, a diagnosis that could have him back on the mound sooner than later.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s actually pretty far along already,\u201d Boone said before the Yankees beat the Angels, 11-5. \u201cHe was out there doing a lot of running and things like that. If he continues to progress like he is, he could potentially be throwing a bullpen [session] Thursday. So there was a little showing in there, but it didn\u2019t seem too significant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Britton suffered the injury Friday against the Red Sox and went on the 10-day injured list Saturday. He is eligible to be activated as early as July 6, when the Yankees open a series<\/a> in Seattle.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see,\u201d Boone said of Britton being activated when eligible. \u201cFirst things first, let\u2019s see, hopefully [Wednesday] goes well. If that\u2019s the case, potentially he\u2019s throwing a side on Thursday. We probably need at least another one from that point. We\u2019ll kind of see how this week and the weekend unfolds and he continues to respond.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut so far, even from the first day out, he was able to get out and move around and even run. At least a few days in here, we\u2019re encouraged.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other bullpen news, the Yankees activated veteran reliever Darren O\u2019Day (right rotator cuff strain) off the injured list Tuesday. Not including a three-game<\/a> rehab assignment, he last pitched on April 29 and had a 3.00 ERA in his first 10 app<\/a>earances with the Yankees. Fellow reliever Justin Wilson (hamstring strain) is set to be activated on Wednesday, according to Boone.<\/p>\n
After Boone said he had not yet considered sitting Gleyber Torres multiple days in a row to help him snap out of his 4-for-51 funk, the shortstop went 2-for-4 with a walk and his first two RBIs since June 6.<\/p>\n

Torres\u2019 two-run single through the open right side of the infield capped off a five-run fourth inning and gave the Yankees a 10-3 lead. He later floated another single to left field in the sixth inning for his first multi-hit game since June 10.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully that\u2019s something he can continue to build on,\u201d Boone said.<\/p>\n
