Giancarlo Stanton Among Yankees Trio Rehabbing in Double-A Somerset

If there is one thing Giancarlo Stanton, Josh Donaldson and Tommy Kahnle are looking forward to the most right now it is getting back to the Big League's to help the New York Yankees this season. 

All three players are rehabbing with the Somerset Patriots, the Yankees Double-A Affiliate. We were there covering for Fox Sports New Jersey.

Stanton was mum on when he expects to return to the Bronx, chosing to see what happens over the next couple of days, but told reporters he felt good.

 Donaldson is coming back from a Grade-1 Strain that has kept him out for most of the season. He tried to rehab with the Patriots earlier this season, but his hamstring tightened up. Not the case on Tuesday, as he went 1-for-4 with a single. 

Khanle who has missed a better part of the last two years battling arm injuries after undergoing Tommy John Surgery in 2020 is trying to get back to solidfy the Yankees pen. He told reporters he has a new pitch in store.

On Tuesday Khanle gave up a run, and two walks, with a strikeout in the seventh inning. 

It will be interesting to see what the Yankees decide to do in recalling all three players in the coming days, perhaps when the Yankees visit the Dodgers this weekend.
