Yankees bullpen uncertain as injury concerns grow
Yankees bullpen uncertain as injury concerns grow originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Yankees optioned Brent Headrick to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Wednesday night's win in Kansas City. No corresponding move has been announced yet, but the bullpen is down a man, and the options are thinning out. Advertisement Headrick had been used in low-leverage spots and posted a 4.73 ERA over 11 appearances. He pitched well enough to stick, but with a limited role and an option remaining, he was the easy move. New York Yankees relief pitcher Luke WeaverKen Blaze-Imagn Images The timing comes as the Yankees are already shorthanded and in the middle of a stretch where they play 16 games in 16 days. 7 Luke Weaver is on the injured list with a hamstring strain, and now Jake Cousins is dealing with a UCL injury that could keep him out long-term. Cousins had been one of the more effective arms at Triple-A and was a likely candidate for a call-up later this month. That leaves the Yankees with fewer clear paths. Advertisement Cam Schlittler and Allan Winans are both candidates at Triple-A. Schlittler has pitched well, though he's never appeared in a major league game. Winans has experience and has been logging consistent innings. Both could give the Yankees length if needed. This isn't a crisis, but it's a roster pinch. With Weaver out, Cousins shelved, and no obvious choice on the 40-man roster, the Yankees will either need to make a corresponding move soon or go short in the bullpen for a day or two. That rarely lasts long. The Yankees have managed the bullpen with discipline all year, but the cracks are showing. And this stretch, with injuries piling up and innings stacking, will test how deep that bullpen really is.

Yankees recall right-handed reliever Scott Effross from Triple-A
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The New York Yankees recalled right-handed relief pitcher Scott Effross from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of Thursday night's game against the Kansas City Royals. The 31-year-old Effross is 2-1 with a 9.00 ERA in nine games, including one start, at three levels in the Yankees' farm system. 'He's built up a little bit,' manager Bob Boone said of Effross. 'There are a couple of guys who would be in play too, but aren't lined up today to give us some length. He can give us some length.' Following Wednesday's game, the Yankees optioned left-hander Brent Headrick to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Additionally, the Yankees released lefty Brandon Leibrandt, who signed with the CTBC Brothers Baseball Club in the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The Yankees also were without outfielder Aaron Judge and catcher Austin Wells on Thursday due to scheduled days off. Both players are available to pinch hit, if needed. ___ AP MLB:

Carlos Carrasco rejoins the Yankees to bolster depleted bullpen
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Carlos Carrasco is back with the New York Yankees. The 38-year-old right-hander had his contract selected Sunday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before the team's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Advertisement Carrasco made six starts and two relief appearances for the Yankees from March 29 to May 4 while their rotation was ravaged by injuries. After going 2-2 with a 5.91 ERA, he was designated for assignment. Carrasco cleared waivers, however, and accepted an outright assignment to the minors, remaining in New York's system. The Yankees were in need of pitching help after losing 18-2 on Saturday. They used six of their eight relievers in the rout, including Brent Headrick and Yerry De Los Santos for the second day in a row, which made them unavailable Sunday. They also used position player Pablo Reyes in the eighth inning. To make room for Carrasco on the active roster, De Los Santos was optioned to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. ___ AP MLB:
