| C | 1 | Francisco Cervelli  D.L.Francisco Cervelli will have the stitches removed from his right hand Tuesday. Cervelli fractured his hand late last month when he was struck by a foul tip. His cast is expected to come off in three weeks while he's about five weeks away from baseball activities. Chris Stewart and Austin Romine will continue to split catching duties for now. May 7 |
| 2 | Chris Stewart  SidelinedChris Stewart (groin) estimated Monday that it will be likely be a few more days before he's ready to return to the lineup. Stewart injured his left groin on an awkward slide into third base last Thursday and hasn't played since. An MRI came back negative, so he's optimistic that he'll avoid a trip to the disabled list. Austin Romine will continue to handle the load behind the plate for now. May 20 |

| 1B | 1 | Mark Teixeira D.L.Mark Teixeira (wrist) could begin a minor league rehab assignment Tuesday with Double-A Trenton. Teixeira has participated in simulated games this week without incident and took batting practice Thursday in Tampa. The 33-year-old was originally aiming to return from the disabled by May 31, but he may need a few extra days to shake the rust. Still, he's making fine progress. May 23 |

| SS | 1 | Derek Jeter D.L.Derek Jeter (ankle) is close to getting the walking boot on his left foot removed again. Jeter had a routine checkup recently and was told his left ankle is healing. Once the boot is removed, he'll be eased into baseball activities again. The future Hall of Famer won't be an option at shortstop for the Yankees until after the All-Star break. May 16 |
| 2 | Eduardo Nunez D.L.Eduardo Nunez (rib cage) took batting practice Wednesday. It's the first time he's done so since landing on the DL, as he had been limited to hitting off a tee and taking soft-toss. When Nunez will be ready to return to game action isn't known, but it shouldn't be too far off. May 22 |

| 4 | Reid Brignac |
| 3B | 1 | Alex Rodriguez D.L.Alex Rodriguez (hip) fielded grounders and took 25 swings in an indoor batting cage Monday at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Florida. Kicking off his third week of on-field activities following hip surgery, Rodriguez also ran from pole to pole near the warning track four times. "Not bad," said Rodriguez. It's not clear when he'll begin playing in games, but the Yankees hope to have him back around midseason. May 20 |
| 2 | Kevin Youkilis D.L.Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Thursday that Kevin Youkilis (back) is "maybe a week" away from being activated. Youkilis, out since April 27 with a lumbar spine strain, took six at-bats Wednesday in a simulated game. It's not clear if he'll go out on a brief rehab assignment, but he's getting close. May 23 |

| 2 | Hiroki Kuroda SidelinedYankees manager Joe Girardi said he would be "shocked" if Hiroki Kuroda (calf) was unable to make his next start. Kuroda's calf tightened up on him an inning after he was hit with a comebacker Wednesday, forcing him to leave the game. But he'll be fine. The right-hander is scheduled to face the Mets early next week. May 22 |
| 3 | Andy Pettitte D.L.Andy Pettitte (trapezius) will play catch either Thursday or Friday. It will be the first time he's thrown since landing on the DL last week with a strained trapezius muscle. "Then we’ll do some long toss, a bullpen and hopefully work it up to a simulated game," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Pettitte is expected back on June 1, the first day he's eligible, or shortly after that. May 22 |
| 4 | Phil Hughes |
| 5 | Ivan Nova D.L.There is no timetable for when Ivan Nova (triceps) will be activated from the disabled list. Nova's triceps doesn't appear to be an issue anymore, but the Yankees don't seem eager to add him to the roster. The righty has already appeared in multiple extended spring games and, according to manager Joe Girardi, "felt good" during a bullpen session Wednesday. "We’ll make sure he feels OK and we’ll go from there," Girardi said. With Andy Pettitte (trapezius muscle) likely to return soon, Nova might wind up being optioned to Triple-A or being used as a long man. May 22 |
| 6 | David Phelps |
| 7 | Michael Pineda D.L.Michael Pineda (shoulder) threw five innings Thursday in a start at extended spring training. Pineda's fastball sat near 93 mph all afternoon and he reported no issues with his surgically-repaired shoulder. The right-hander is expected to make one more start at the Yankees' spring complex before heading out on a minor league rehab assignment. He should be stashed right now in leagues with big roster allotments. May 23 |

| 4 | Joba Chamberlain D.L.Joba Chamberlain (oblique) is scheduled to throw two inning Saturday in extended spring training. Chamberlain pitched a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre over a week ago, but the Yankees didn't think he was ready yet. However, if all goes well, there's a chance he could be activated late next week. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since April 27 with a strained oblique. May 23 |
| 5 | Shawn Kelley |
| 6 | Adam Warren |
| 7 | Cesar Cabral D.L.Cesar Cabral (elbow) threw a scoreless inning Wednesday in an extended spring training game. Cabral worked around a single by Delmon Young to complete the frame. The 24-year-old left-hander missed all of 2012 with a stress fracture in his elbow. It's not clear when he'll begin an official minor league rehab assignment. Apr 17 |
