Yankees Exploring Trade, Key Players in Rehab

The New York Yankees are exploring potential upgrades for their third base position, with Toronto's Vladimir Guerrero Jr. as a notable trade target, especially if he performs well in his trial at third base. Concurrently, veteran first baseman Anthony Rizzo has started a rehab assignment and might return to the lineup by early September, providing a crucial boost to a struggling first base position. The Yankees are also looking forward to the return of right-handers Clarke Schmidt, Ian Hamilton, and Cody Poteet, who have all commenced rehab assignments. These moves aim to strengthen the Yankees' roster as they push for a strong finish to the season.
