Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Embarking on rehab assignment
Rotowire
McMahon (thumb) will begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Somerset on Saturday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Manager Aaron Boone explained that McMahon will "probably" play in just one game before rejoining the Yankees, with the plan being to activate the infielder when rosters expand Sept. 1. The 31-year-old McMahon has mostly struggled at the dish in the years since he left Colorado, though his defense at the hot corner is still valuable enough to project him for a semi-regular role upon his return to the active roster.

Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Recovering from Grade 2 thumb sprain
Rotowire
McMahon said that he was diagnosed with a Grade 2 left thumb sprain after the Yankees placed him on the 10-day injured list Friday, Randy Miller of NJ.com reports.
McMahon initially thought that he jammed the thumb when he slid into second base during the second inning of Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Orioles, but imaging Friday revealed a moderate sprain. Per MLB.com, manager Aaron Boone said that McMahon has a shot at returning in the minimum 10 days, though the 31-year-old would likely need to resume baseball activities within the next couple of days for that to be a realistic possibility. Jose Caballero and Amed Rosario are expected to share time at third base while McMahon is out.

Yankees' Ryan McMahon: Getting X-rays on hand
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said after Wednesday's win over Baltimore that McMahon is slated to undergo X-rays on his left thumb, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
McMahon injured his hand while sliding into second base in the second inning, and he was eventually pulled in favor of a pinch hitter in the eighth. The fact that he was able to remain in the game for several innings after injuring himself is encouraging, though the Yankees will presumably wait to see the results of the 31-year-old's X-rays before determining his availability for Thursday's series finale.
