MLB rumors: Yankees player considering retirement, Dodgers/Giants injury updates
By Josh Wilson
Did the Boston Red Sox just completely end the New York Yankees? After sweeping them this weekend — including handing them two losses in a doubleheader on Sunday, the Red Sox joined the party in the AL East with all five teams above .500 now.
Meanwhile, the rest of our rumors roundup focuses on the NL West, which has been a surprising division so far this season. The Arizona Diamondbacks have the lead over the second-place Los Angeles Dodgers by four games, with LA getting swept at home by the San Francisco Giants this weekend.
Let’s take a look at all the news, including injury updates and a possible retirement announcement.
Dodgers get recovery timelines for two key players
As the month of June nears an end, Los Angeles Dodgers fans will have plenty to look forward to, especially with two key players set to return from injury.
Julio Urias and Daniel Hudson both now have targeted date ranges for their return to the big leagues. Both of which are key weapons in the pitching quiver for Los Angeles that could help them get back on track in an intensely competitive NL West in 2023.
Urias has been out since late May, with Hudson having been out since early 2022.

On the other hand, Hudson, who has been on a much longer road to recovery, has performed well at AA and is expected to move up to AAA by Tuesday according to the Orange County Register.
Both players should be available to the active roster in early July if all goes well.
