Prior to tonight's game, the Yankees made the following roster moves:
• Returned INF Jazz Chisholm Jr. (#13) from his rehab assignment and reinstated him from the 10-day injured list.
• Reinstated RHP Fernando Cruz (#63) from the 15-day injured list.
• Recalled RHP Yerry de… — New York Yankees (@Yankees) June 3, 2025
Chisholm last played on April 29, before a right oblique strain sidelined him for what would turn into the entirety of May. After three rehab games in Double-A, the infielder looks ready to return to the diamond.
Weaver recently suffered a hamstring injury while warming up on Sunday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. ESPN's Jeff Passan reported that an MRI revealed he could miss four to six weeks of action.
The right-hander has been electric for New York this season, posting a 1.05 ERA across 25.2 frames of work, allowing just three runs in this time. He has 24 strikeouts in as many outings to just seven walks on the year.
It appears that Devin Williams will go back to his role as closer amid Weaver's absence. The struggling Williams has a 6.23 ERA across 21.2 innings pitched this season and will have to take a major step up with the increased workload.
There will be more bullpen help on the way as Cruz will continue to build upon his 2.66 ERA over 23.2 frames this season. The right-hander has an ERA+ of 150 this season, ranking him 50 percent better than qualified pitchers as he looks to get back to his first season as a Yankee.
De los Santos will also look to take on a larger role, as he has allowed four runs in 12 innings of work in Pinstripes. He has dazzled the mound in 10.1 frames in Triple-A with a 1.74 ERA, striking out 11 batters and walking four.
Vivas split time across second and third base since the beginning of May, but was struggling at the plate with a .156 batting average across 45 at-bats. The 24-year-old heads back to Triple-A, where he was hitting .319 before his call-up.
The right-handed veteran Carrasco struggled in his eight appearances for the Yankees as he allowed 21 runs in 32 innings. The 38-year-old will look for another opportunity to extend his 16-year MLB career.

(AP Photo/Pamela Smith) NEW YORK (AP) — Baltimore Orioles backup catcher Maverick Handley left Sunday's game against the New York Yankees after being knocked over in a collision at the plate with Jazz Chisholm Jr. With Baltimore ahead 2-0, Chisholm hit a two-out double off Dean Kremer and went home on DJ LeMahieu's single to left. Advertisement Colton Cowser's throw was up the third-base line. Handley moved to his left for the throw, arriving for the ball at the same time as Chisholm, who tried to veer to the inside to avoid contact. Chisholm, whose left cleat had come off as he speeded down the line, smacked into Handley, fell past the plate and had to come back to touch it. Handley, a 27-year-old who debuted in April, got up slowly and was removed after a discussion with interim manager Tony Masolino and head athletic trainer Scott Barringer. Baltimore replaced Handley with former Yankees player Gary Sánchez. Baltimore already is without All-Star catcher Adley Rutschman, who strained his left oblique and is on the injured list for the first time in his major league career. ___ More AP baseball:

Rockets Reportedly Acquire Kevin Durant From Suns in Blockbuster Trade
Kevin Durant is off to team No. 5. The Houston Rockets have agreed to a deal with the Phoenix Suns to acquire the 11-time All-NBA honoree, ESPN reported Sunday. In return, the Suns will reportedly receive veteran guards Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks. They'll also receive six draft picks, including the No. 10 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft. The other five picks are second-round selections. Durant, who will be 37 at the start of next season, is entering the final season of a four-year, $194.2 million deal. This season, Durant averaged 26.6 points, six rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.2 blocks per game, while shooting 52.7/43.0/83.9 in 62 games; he missed time due to ankle and calf injuries. The Suns went 36-46 and missed the playoffs. Durant spent the first nine seasons of his NBA career with the Seattle Supersonics/Oklahoma City Thunder, followed by a three-year stint with the Golden State Warriors, with whom Durant won two championships. Durant then signed with the Brooklyn Nets, missing his first season with the team (2019-20) due to a torn Achilles tendon. At the 2023 NBA trade deadline, Durant was traded to the Suns, where he played through the 2024-25 season. Durant was the 2013-14 NBA MVP and is a two-time NBA Finals MVP.
