NEW YORK - Yonder Alonso is taking batting practice Saturday morning at Yankee Stadium and he said beforehand that he expects to be available to come off the bench.
Alonso hasn’t played since leaving Tuesday’s game after taking a pitch off his right wrist; the first baseman has a major-league high nine homers in May.
Manager Bob Melvin said that the team will make a decision whether or not to put Kendall Graveman on the DL on Sunday. Graveman was scratched from Friday’s start with right shoulder soreness, an issue that landed him on the DL from April 15-26,.
