Yankees would be wise to maximize Domingo Germán’s skillset in the bullpen

Domingo Germán, who has been rehabbing a shoulder injury, is very close to making his return to the Yankees staff. He has consecutive three-inning live batting practice sessions under his belt in June, the last one coming on Wednesday. Per manager Aaron Boone, the next step on his road back will be a rehab assignment in the minor leagues, so barring any setbacks, he could be ready to return within the next couple of weeks.

The Yankees have said that they want him stretched out as a possible starter, but Germán might make be a better fit as a multi-inning reliever.
