| 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) went 1-for-2 with a walk Monday in his first extended spring training game. Teixeira reported feeling "good" on his personal Twitter feed afterward. The first baseman is currently aiming to be activated from the disabled list by May 31, but the Yankees are at the top of the American League East standings and could decide to play it safe by letting his minor league rehab assignment linger into early June. Teixeira is on his way back from a torn tendon sheath. May 20 |

| 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 |

| 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.Kevin Youkilis (back) took six at-bats in a simulated game Wednesday. It was reported previously that Youkilis played in an extended spring game Tuesday, but that was actually also a simulated game. It's not clear when he'll be ready to play in a real game, but he's not far off. "I can’t tell you," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "I think you have to give him a few days in a row before you evaluate to make sure that his back is healed and it doesn’t come back. The last two days have been pretty good, so he’s getting closer."

| 2 | Hiroki Kuroda SidelinedHiroki Kuroda left Wednesday's start against the Orioles in the third inning with an apparent injury. Kuroda was hit on the calf by a comeback in the previous inning, but some are speculating that his back might be the issue. The Yankees will provide an update on his status soon. It would be yet another big injury blow to the Bombers if Kuroda has to miss significant time. 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) is scheduled to throw 50 pitches Friday, either in extended spring training or an intrasquad game. Yankees manager Joe Girardi didn't disclose any plans about a rehab assignment, but he expects Pineda to pitch in the majors at some point this summer. "We’ll continue to build him up," said Girardi. "Starters, as you know, take a lot longer than relievers because you have to get them to 100 pitches. For a kid that hasn’t pitched in a couple of years, that’s something you may want to see a couple of times to make sure he’s ready to go every fifth day." May 16 |

| 4 | Joba Chamberlain D.L.Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Thursday that Joba Chamberlain (oblique) needs at least one more rehab appearance before coming off the disabled list. Chamberlain gave up two hits in a scoreless frame Tuesday night for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but the Yankees think he needs more work before returning. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since late April with an oblique strain. May 16 |

| 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 |
