**Weaver Seals Yankees Victory; Injury Updates Abound**

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The New York Yankees secured a 5-1 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday, with Luke Weaver pitching the ninth inning to close out the game. Despite a heavy workload recently, Weaver secured the win, giving up a walk and a single, after Ryan Yarbrough, Yerry De Los Santos and Mark Leiter Jr pitched effectively.

Manager Aaron Boone strategically managed his bullpen, opting for Weaver in the ninth to avoid overtaxing other relievers with upcoming games in mind. “I thought he was good,” Boone said. “Knowing you’re going to be down with him [Tuesday].”

The Yankees are also closely monitoring the progress of several injured players. Right-hander Luis Gil (lat strain) is slated to throw his first bullpen session this Friday, a significant step in his recovery. A July return is the optimistic target, assuming no setbacks.

Infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr. (oblique strain) is scheduled for a full workout Tuesday and could begin a rehab assignment later this week. If all goes according to plan, Chisholm could rejoin the Yankees next Tuesday when they return home to face the Cleveland Guardians.

Giancarlo Stanton (tennis elbows) is currently in Tampa getting live at-bats to simulate game situations. Boone said, “Hopefully he’ll get a number of live at-bats and through the weekend… and then we’ll see what we’re going to do next week.”

Fernando Cruz (shoulder inflammation) is expected to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday. If he continues to progress without issue, he could face hitters this weekend and potentially return to the Yankees bullpen next week.
