Associated Press | Ian Harrison : Cody Bellinger is set to begin a rehab assignment later this week after going through another round of workouts, though an exact day is yet to be determined. Boone had said earlier on Sunday that he would begin his rehab on Tuesday, but clarified after the extra inning win that he had misspoke. There was no setback in the time that had lapsed between the two statements, just miscommunication. Still, Bellinger is closer to returning than he was yesterday, and that’s what’s important.
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch : After his statement was released saying goodbye on Old Timers’ Day, it seemed the news was inevitable. Still when news broke yesterday that Tommy John had passed, it didn’t make the news any less sad. After spending his final days in hospice care, John leaves a legacy obviously most synonymous with the famous UCL surgery named after him, but also for what he achieved on the field. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out John’s tribute to him from yesterday as well.
New York Magazine | Adam Elder : When the team announced last week that Apollo Sports Capital, a private equity investor, acquired a stake in the team (up to 15 percent) for $2.6 billion, many started to wonder what that meant for the Yankees, the sport, and how it could possibly affect fans. Unfortunately, there’s no clear answer yet for how the Steinbrenner family will use this cash influx, but given that these aren’t his father’s Yankees, it seems unlikely that Hal will put his investment back onto the field. Worst case scenario is also that they get access to a full private equity playbook of cutting costs (lower payroll, tiered memberships for fans, more expensive tickets and YES subscriptions) and implement that. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
MLB.com | Max Ralph : If you’re wondering what Ryan Weathers has been doing differently to put together his recent string of impressive and successful starts, it’s that he’s been using his most intriguing pitch, the four-seamer, the least among the pitches in his arsenal. The timing of this piece could’ve been dicey since it was published late Saturday night, but Weathers backed this up by spinning a 7.1 inning gem, allowing just one run.
