MLB Teams Brace for Returns Amid Injuries

The Texas Rangers' Josh Jung has started a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco RoughRiders and is expected to return soon after recovering from neck spasms. Meanwhile, the New York Yankees' Cody Bellinger is optimistic about returning from a stiff back, hoping to play in the upcoming series finale against the Pirates. The Yankees have activated Devin Williams from the paternity list and designated Adam Ottavino for assignment, preparing for a challenging stretch of 13 consecutive games. Similarly, the Boston Red Sox anticipate the return of pitchers Brayan Bello and Lucas Giolito after their rehab assignments. Both the Yankees and Red Sox are dealing with early-season injuries but remain hopeful for significant contributions from returning players. These developments are crucial as the season progresses and teams strive to maintain competitive momentum.
