BALTIMORE — Masahiro Tanaka will rejoin a Yankees rotation Tuesday that could use some help.

It’s unclear just how much assistance Tanaka will provide.

Before missing nearly a month with mild strains to both hamstrings, suffered while running the bases against the Mets at Citi Field on June 8, Tanaka was in the midst of a rough six-start stretch in which he pitched to a 4.83 ERA and gave up a whopping 10 homers in just 31 ²/u2083 innings.

Tanaka and Aaron Boone both hope the stint on the disabled list will have multiple benefits.
