The Yankees are adding another veteran bat to the mix ahead of their crucial weekend set with the Blue Jays. Austin Slater has officially been reinstated from the injured list. Slater has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring strain on August 4 against the Texas Rangers. His initial timeline called for a 4-to-6 week recovery. The 32-year-old was able to work his way into five minor league rehab games over the past week, and now he's officially been deemed ready to make his return.
A'ja Wilson commented on her return from injury, saying, "It is very hard for me to sit out games. I'm going to continue to play through it because they're going to make sure that I'm ready and I'm comfortable."
