Returning to start Thursday German will return from the Yankees' alternate training site to start against Cleveland on Thursday, Tom Withers of the Associated Press reports.

Impact German made two starts early in the campaign and allowed seven runs across seven innings before being sent to the team's alternate site. Manager Aaron Boone suggested at the time that the move was made in response to a light schedule that saw New York play only six games in eight days, so German could be returning to the rotation for more than just a spot start. The Yankees will certainly need a fifth starter as their next off day won't take place until May 3.

Expected to return this week German is slated to start one of the Yankees' four games in their upcoming series against Cleveland, Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media reports.

Impact German made two starts earlier this season for New York, allowing seven runs across a combined seven innings and posting a 7:2 K:BB. He was then sent to the team's alternate training site and impressed in a Triple-A exhibition contest Saturday, allowing one unearned run on two hits across five frames. Manager Aaron Boone indicated that German will be brought back onto the active roster to face Cleveland sometime between Thursday and Sunday, though he did not specify an exact date. That decision may come down to whether the team will opt to give Gerrit Cole and/or Jordan Montgomery an extra day of rest.

Still viewed as fifth starter Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that he expects German to rejoin the Yankees when a fifth starter is next required April 24 in Cleveland, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact German was unable to carry his stellar results from spring training into his first two turns of the regular season, giving up seven runs on 12 hits and two walks over seven innings en route to taking losses to the Blue Jays and Rays. New York optioned German to its alternate site following Saturday's game in Tampa Bay, but based on Boone's comments, the right-hander's demotion wasn't due solely to his pair of poor outings. With a pair of off days in the next eight days, the Yankees will instead run a streamlined four-man rotation, so German will be parked at the alternate site in the short term to give the team an extra roster spot. German still appears to have the edge over Deivi Garcia and Michael King for the fifth starter's job.

Optioned to alternate camp German was optioned to the Yankees' alternate training site Saturday.

Impact German was charged with his second loss of the season Saturday as he allowed four runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out five in four innings against the Rays. The Yankees aren't in need of a fifth starter in the near future since they have two upcoming days off, so German will get to work on things at the team's alternate camp following an underwhelming start to the 2021 campaign.

Takes loss Sunday German (0-1) gave up three runs on four hits and a walk while fanning two across three innings in Sunday's loss against the Blue Jays.

Impact German tossed nine scoreless innings while striking out 13 and walking just one during spring training, but he wasn't able to replicate those results in the season opener and only lasted three innings before being lifted. He will try to bounce back in his next start, scheduled for April 10 on the road against the Rays.

Appears to win rotation spot German appears to be lined up as the Yankees' fifth starter after Deivi Garcia was optioned Friday, James Wagner of The New York Times reports.

Impact German significantly outperformed Garcia this spring, making the Yankees' decision seemingly a fairly easy one. Garcia struck out 14 batters in 14 innings, but he also walked eight and allowed seven runs (six earned). Meanwhile, German tossed nine scoreless innings, striking out 13 while walking just one. He showed what he was capable of in 2019, backing up a respectable 4.03 ERA with a 25.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.6 percent walk rate, though exactly how much he'll resemble that pitcher this year after missing last year while suspended for domestic violence remains to be seen.

Strengthens bid for rotation spot German tossed four scoreless innings in Monday's Grapefruit League game versus the Phillies, allowing three hits and one walk while striking out six.

Impact German enjoyed an effective and efficient outing, needing only 46 pitches (35 strikes) to make it through four frames. He has been dominant so far this spring, throwing nine scoreless innings and yielding only five hits while posting a 13:1 K:BB. Though Deivi Garcia -- German's primary competition for the fifth-starter role -- has also thrown well this spring, German may be sliding ahead of him with his effectiveness in Grapefruit League action.

Strong in first spring start German tossed two scoreless innings against Detroit in a Grapefruit League game Friday, allowing one hit and striking out four.

Impact German entered the contest having not faced big-league hitters in over 17 months, but he showed little rust in racking up four strikeouts and limiting Detroit to a Wilson Ramos double. The right-hander is battling this spring for the final spot in the Yankees' starting rotation, and he could maneuver his way into the position with more performances like the one he posted Friday.
