Yankees injury updates from Aaron Boone:

DJ LeMahieu is “moving the needle” in progressing from his calf injury. He’s been hitting.

Jake Cousins is throwing at 90 feet.

Clarke Schmidt’s bullpen went well.

Giancarlo Stanton is doing more but wouldn’t specify what exactly.

Fantasy Impact:

Cousins, yet to pitch this spring due to a forearm strain, hit 90 feet Monday but isn’t mound-ready, likely missing the Yankees’ Grapefruit League slate and starting on the IL. His one-inning relief role needs minimal buildup. Fantasy managers in deep leagues can stash him, eyeing a quick return to bolster New York’s bullpen once cleared.
