He has been lights out all season with a 12-4 record and 163 strikeouts. He has been excellent with limiting base runners, too, racking up a .92 WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched). With Nestor Cortes Jr shining the Yankees are looking like a serious World Series contender New York Yankees vs. Toronto Blue Jays. The New York Yankees are bouncing back at the perfect time. Ahead of the final week of the regular season, they activated DJ LeMahieu off the injury list. The utility infielder was dealing with a lingering toe issue and had to be placed on the list in early September. The club wasn't sure if he would be able to return before the postseason. The Yankees also received word that slugger Matt Carpenter was nearing his return as well. Carpenter was injured on Aug. 8 after fouling the ball off his left foot, which resulted in a fracture. He was seen taking batting practice with the club before Friday's game. Along with Carpenter, Andrew Benintendi is nearing his return as well. Benintendi ended up on the injury list after he went through surgery to fix a hamate bone in his right hand. Benintendi is scheduled to take dry swings over the weekend. The return of all of these key players ahead of the postseason is great for the Yankees. These players could very well be the difference between winning and losing the World Series.
