Yankees' Dustin Ackley: Latest on his injury rehab

Posted Aug 22, 2015
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman didn't rule out season-ending back surgery for Dustin Ackley when the newly acquired utility player went on the disabled list with a right lumbar strain Aug. 4. But Ackley told NJ Advance Media Tuesday that his rehabilitation program is going well and that he doesn't believe that will be necessary. Ackley had been throwing for a few days, but he took his first swings Tuesday, he said. (NJ.com)
