The double, a hard grounder that went through third baseman Luis Rengifo, led off the bottom of the ninth in a scoreless game. Stanton was then removed for pinch-runner Jasson Domínguez, who was quickly retired on a grounder that reached Rengifo at third at basically the same time Domínguez did, resulting in a little collision and a great tag play from Rengifo. Stanton’s balls in play tonight were hit 101.5, 111.1 and 102.9 mph. He also struck out once.

Another scoreless start for Schmidt. He gave up three runs in the first against the Guardians on June 4, but that’s the only time in his last four outings that he’s been scored upon. Unfortunately, he went without any run support tonight, so he remained 3-3 with a 3.16 ERA through 11 starts. He’ll face the Orioles on Saturday.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone told reporters Cousins will undergo the season-ending procedure on Wednesday after being shut down from throwing last week with renewed elbow discomfort. It’s a definite hit to New York’s relief depth as Cousins compiled a sparkling 2.37 ERA across 38 innings (37 appearances) last year in his Yankees debut. He figures to miss most of the 2026 season as well, given the timing of the procedure.

Stanton is back after missing the first 2 1/2 months with epicondylitis in both of his elbows, but will he help? He certainly did last October, but at this point, he’s a 35-year-old DH with a 105 OPS+ over the last three seasons. The Yankees have a 121 OPS+ as a team this year and have gotten a .275/.369/.576 line from the DH spot. Stanton will probably get a chance to play regularly for now, and he’s worth trying in mixed leagues. Ben Rice will likely lose much of his playing time and could be droppable. Jasson Domínguez and Trent Grisham will also likely lose some at-bats.

Ohtani’s return to the mound saw him give up two hits and the aforementioned run with no walks and no strikeouts. The command wasn’t great — which is to be expected given the long layoff and no rehab outings — but the stuff looked fine, and he touched 100 mph during the outing. Ohtani will likely be an opener again in his next outing, and gradually be built up to work as a starter in the summer months. Oh, he’s also a very good hitter.

It’s officially happening. Ohtani returns to a major-league mound for the first time since August 23, 2023. The 30-year-old two-way sensation is unlikely to pitch more than one or two innings on Monday night at Dodger Stadium since he threw only 44 pitches last week in his most recent simulated game. He’ll be followed by Ben Casparius operating in a bulk relief role. It’s worth noting that Los Angeles isn’t giving him the night off from hitting as he’s also at DH and leading off during his return to the mound. Get your popcorn ready.

The fact that Alvarez still remains completely shut down from hitting, according to an official team medical report, as he continues to recover from a small fracture in his right hand seems to signal that he won’t make it back until after next month’s All-Star break. There isn’t an official timetable for his return yet, but he’s still several weeks away based on this latest update.
