TAMPA -- The playoff-bound New York Yankees are starting to get some of their injured stars back, with designated hitter Edwin Encarnacion and catcher Gary Sanchez slated to return to the lineup during the team's last road trip of the regular season.
Encarnacion has been rehabbing an internal left oblique strain, which he suffered in the first game of a doubleheader in Detroit on September 12. The 36-year-old slugger told ESPN Monday that he felt no pain and was hopeful that he'd be able to play in the second game against the Rays on Wednesday, but manager Aaron Boone stated Tuesday that he would take the cautious approach.
