A still-battered Yankees bullpen is set to receive another shot in the arm Monday.
Fernando Cruz is expected to be activated off the injured list in time to begin a series against the Nationals after missing nearly two months with a high-grade oblique strain.
Manager Aaron Boone on Saturday left the door open for Cruz to be activated Sunday, but the Yankees waited to make a move after the right-hander threw 1 ¹/₃ innings in his fourth rehab game Friday.
“Obviously, he’s been super productive for us down there and such an important part of that pen when he’s been healthy,” Boone said before the Yanks’ 7-2 win in the series finale against the Red Sox.
