German, Loaisiga could be back before All-Star break

BOSTON — The Yankees could get a pair of valuable arms back before the All-Star break.

Domingo German had another solid rehab start Saturday, pitching four scoreless innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Manager Aaron Boone said the organization would discuss the righthander’s next step, which could be another start in the minors. But Boone didn’t rule out a possible move to the majors, with German pitching out of the bullpen.

He has been out since the spring due to a right shoulder impingement.

Jonathan Loaisiga, who has been sidelined with right shoulder inflammation, began a rehab assignment on Saturday night with Low-A Tampa, throwing 13 pitches in one hitless inning, with one strikeout.

Boone said Loaisiga would then throw another inning with SWB on Tuesday, with a possible return to The Bronx to follow.

➤ Anthony Rizzo returned to the lineup Saturday in the Yankees’ 6-5, 10-inning loss to the Red Sox at Fenway Park after missing four straight games with lower back stiffness and had two runscoring doubles.

“Everything, as the game was going on, felt more comfortable,” Rizzo said.

Boone said he was confident the issue was behind Rizzo, since the first baseman has dealt with a similar issue in years past and typically missed only a handful of games.

➤ After Giancarlo Stanton said he would be interested in participating in the Home Run Derby now that he’s an All-Star, Boone said he was fine with the slugger taking part in it.

“If he wants to do it, then go get ’em,” Boone said. “He knows himself really well.”

➤ Gleyber Torres brought a career-best, four-game multi-hit streak into Saturday, as he continued to put the previous two subpar seasons behind him.

“He’s using his lower half better,’’ Boone said. “All year, he’s been getting off good swings. He’s consistently in a really strong position.”
