NEW YORK — Didi Gregorius is projected to return to the New York Yankees next month, a faster recovery from Tommy John surgery than expected. Everything feels really good,” Gregorius said Saturday after eight plate appearances during a simulated game in Tampa. When the Yankees revealed the injury six days later, general manager Brian Cashman would specify only “sometime next summer” for Gregorius’ return. Gregorius’ timetable will be easier to project once he starts a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment, which has a 20-day maximum. In other Yankees injury news, left-hander James Paxton is scheduled to throw a third bullpen session Sunday and could be activated during next week’s trip to Baltimore and Kansas City.
