VIDEO: Dellin Betances Pitches to Giancarlo Stanton as Yankees Stars Near Return From IL
By Parker White
It's hard to imagine after everything that's gone on, but the New York Yankees could be close to getting fully healthy. On Tuesday, reliever Dellin Betances took the field and was tossing pitches for superstar outfielder Giancarlo Stanton. You just love seeing this:

This sim game probably did more for Betances, who has been out all year with a shoulder impingement and a lat strain, but Stanton did swing the bat and that can only help him as he comes back from a PCL strain.
Betances did throw in Tampa over the weekend, so the fact he threw again on Tuesday without a setback is a good sign he could be close to returning.
It is high! It is far! It is ... gone!

Giancarlo! Non si può stoparlo! https://t.co/0HBMNWzOdC
On top of these two getting reps in on Tuesday, ace right-handed pitcher Luis Severino made his first rehab start over the weekend and it went pretty well.
The Yankees are already one of the best teams in the bigs and they are without several star players. Imagine what they could do at full strength? Well, we could see that very soon.
