AL East Injury Watch: Stanton, Rodón, Gray, Melton

AL East injury notes: Stanton exited with right calf tightness, but Boone downplayed the issue and there’s no IL move yet. Rodón began a rehab assignment with the Yankees’ High-A affiliate, expected to need three rehab starts and could rejoin in mid‑May, possibly against the Brewers or Orioles. Gray traveled with the Red Sox and is slated for a bullpen session, suggesting a quick return from the 15‑day IL. Rays outfielder Jacob Melton has a Grade 2 left ankle sprain and is out 4–6 weeks; he’s a top prospect who could reach the majors later in the season.

AL East Shuffle: Gil’s Role in Doubt, Bastardo’s Rule 5 Status, Lux’s Comeback

AL East Shuffle: Gil’s Role in Doubt, Bastardo’s Rule 5 Status, Lux’s Comeback

The Yankees will field a four-man rotation (Fried, Schlittler, Warren, Weathers) for the season’s first 13 days, leaving Luis Gil in an awkward fifth-starter spot or possibly piggybacking or staying in the minors; his 2025 peripherals suggest a decline despite a 2024 Rookie of the Year past. Toronto trimmed its bullpen, with Tommy Nance making the team while Angel Bastardo (plus Yariel Rodriguez and Jorge Alcala) won’t open the season on the roster, leaving Bastardo’s Rule 5 rights potentially needing a return trade or deal. Gavin Lux of the Rays is still dealing with shoulder and prior oblique issues but returned to the lineup as Opening Day nears; with limited spring games, manager Kevin Cash says they must get him ready, and a potential 10-day IL could push for adding depth in Richie Palacios or other infield options.
