Yankees injury updates: Matt Carpenter, Clay Holmes, Wandy Peralta back for ALDS?

Yankees have five days to prepare for their Division Series against either the Cleveland Guardians or Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees will also have to come up with a 26-man ALDS roster.

Yankees have six players injured. Matt Carpenter had surgery to repair broken hook of the hamate bone in his right hand. Clay Holmes is 15 days injured since August 9. Wandy Peralta is injured and may miss the ALDS.

Benintendi hasn't been cleared to take batting practice yet. He's not an option for the Division Series and is a long shot for ALCS.

Matt Carpenter is getting regular at-bats in the Yankees' alternate camp at Double-A Somerset. He's had five or so at bats each day recently. If Giancarlo Stanton is unavailable, he could play a pinch-hitter or DH role.

Holmes is scheduled for a bullpen as early as Friday. He is expected to be ready for the ALDS. Wandy Peralta is on the 15-day injured list.

Yankees rookie is on the 15-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation. He could be back for the ALCS.

Montas is throwing long toss now. He could be available for a bullpen or opener for the ALCS.

Wandy Peralta is on 15-day injured list. He has left thoracic spine tightness.

Wandy Peralta threw to hitters in a live BP on Tuesday. The Yankees are counting on him to be on their ALDS roster and pitching right away in big spots.
