The New York Yankees are hopeful they'll only get healthier over the next few weeks, which seems almost guaranteed at this point, barring something drastic.

The Yankees proved when they sent Anthony Volpe down that they're as serious as ever in terms of trying to win a World Series this year, so they'll need their guys healthy and ready to go. The top two remaining players to return from injuries will be Carlos Rodon and Gerrit Cole, arguably the two best pitchers in the Yankees organization.

Recently, looking at when both could return, it sounds like things are progressing very well for the two aces. In fact, Rodon could even return to the Yankees after his rehab start on Tuesday.

“Nearly everything has gone well for the 23-11 Yankees, and there are still ways for them to get even better as the season progresses. The starting rotation’s 2.74 ERA is tops in MLB, and that’s without Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole. It’s expected Rodón will make one more rehab assignment start Tuesday, which would put him in line to potentially make his season debut May 10. Cole is still a few weeks away, but he’s progressing well,” Chris Kirschner of The Athletic .
