CLEVELAND -- It’s one step forward for Yankees outfielder Giancarlo Stanton, one step back for right-hander Dellin Betances.

While Stanton has made enough progress in his recovery from a calf strain to begin a Minor League rehab assignment Monday or Tuesday with Class A Advanced Tampa, Betances’ recovery from a right shoulder issue has hit a snag that will necessitate a visit with Yankees team doctor Chris Ahmad on Monday.

Betances’ shoulder area was too sore to throw his scheduled bullpen session Friday in Tampa. He saw an orthopedist in Tampa, but the Yankees wanted him to see Ahmad to ensure the issue is not serious.

“The original testing and all that was good,” manager Aaron Boone said. “But I think we want to run him through some more. We’re hoping it’s not serious, but we’ll know more in a couple days.”

Betances has not pitched this season because of a bone spur behind his right shoulder. He had faced live hitters Wednesday but felt the soreness near his lat muscle the following day.

“He’s a great pitcher, and hopefully this is just something that slows it a little bit,” Boone said. “He’s obviously a very, very important player to what we do. Hopefully it’s not something that holds him down too long. There’s no denying how important he is to our club.”

Stanton, on the other hand, could be getting closer to rejoining the Yankees. During his recovery from a shoulder strain and then a biceps strain, the Yankees had paused his rehab assignment because of muscle tightness in his left calf. But he appears ready to get back in games, first with Tampa for three days and then, if all goes well, with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Boone said Stanton, who last played in the big leagues on March 31, will need at least a week of rehab games before he’s ready to rejoin the Yankees.

“He’s been getting a lot of live looks and has been periodically as he’s tried to come back,” Boone said. “So maybe he won’t take as long as some guys to get ramped up.”

Worth noting

• The Yankees have signed 11 more of their 2019 Draft picks, according to MLB.com reporter Mark Feinsand: right-hander Hayden Wesneski (6th round, Sam Houston State), right-hander Nick Paciorek (7th round, Northwestern), second baseman Oliver Dunn (11th round, Utah), left-hander Ryan Anderson (12th round, Nevada-Reno), right-hander Kevin Milam (14th round, St Mary’s), left-hander Edgar Barclay (15th round, Cal State Bakersfield), right-hander Shaine McNeely (16th round, Hope International U), first baseman Chad Bell (19th round, Louisiana Monroe), first baseman Kyle MacDonald (27th round, Arkansas St), catcher Chase Illig (29th round, West Virginia) and third baseman Javier Reynoso (33rd round, Colegio Angel David HS) bring the number of signees to 18 out of 41 players selected by the Yankees in the Draft earlier this week.

• Second baseman Gleyber Torres was back in the starting lineup Saturday after missing two games with soreness in the front of his left shoulder.

• Boone said shortstop Troy Tulowitzki, who was sent home after recovering from a strained calf instead of going out on a Minor League rehab assignment, is still evaluating his options.

“I think he’s just trying to weigh everything that’s going on with our organization and where he’s at,” Boone said. “Obviously it’s been a tough time for him battling back and then having a setback and everything. So I think he’s taking some time to go through things with his family, his agent and everything. So we’ll respect that time.”

• Boone said it’s possible outfielder Aaron Judge, recovering from a left oblique strain, could get into Minor League games in the next two weeks.
