Via Bryan Hoch: Francisco Cervelli’s strained hamstring is “not yet 100%, but it’s getting closer.” He has been running on a treadmill and is scheduled to run on the field for the first time today. He could start hitting as soon as this weekend.
Cervelli, 28, suffered a Grade II hamstring strain last month and was immediately placed on the 60-day DL. He is not eligible to be activated until June 14th, at which point the Yankees will need to clear a 40-man roster to accommodate him. John Ryan Murphy has played very well in his limited time as Brian McCann’s backup and looks very much like a keeper to me. It’ll be interesting to see how this situation sorts itself next month.
