MLB Note - New York Yankees Bird, Greg

Aug 19, 2017 - 8:31 AM 1B Greg Bird, on a rehab stint after ankle surgery, could be as close as returning next week. "I want the kid to get some at-bats before we decide, 'Is he ready?' I don't want to rush him," manager Joe Girardi said Friday. He went 2-for-4 with a solo homer in Triple-A Friday night.
