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:

Yankees place reliever Fernando Cruz (shoulder) on IL
May 22 - The New York Yankees placed reliever Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list Thursday with inflammation in his right shoulder. The move is retroactive to Monday for the 35-year-old right-hander, who has not pitched since last Saturday's 3-2 loss to the New York Mets. Cruz is 1-2 with a 2.66 ERA and two saves in 21 relief appearances this season, his first with the Yankees. He was acquired in a December trade with the Cincinnati Reds. Overall, Cruz is 5-13 with a 4.26 ERA in 162 games (seven starts) with the Reds (2022-24) and Yankees. New York recalled left-hander Brent Headrick from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in a corresponding move. Headrick, 27, appeared in four games for the Yankees in March and April, allowing no runs on one hit in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out nine and walked two. --Field Level Media

Yankees to make bullpen change Thursday per insider
The New York Yankees celebrated a dramatic walk-off win over the Rangers on Wednesday night, but the celebration didn't come without questions. Just minutes after Jasson Dominguez's homer sealed the victory, the attention shifted to the bullpen. Manager Aaron Boone revealed that reliever Fernando Cruz had been quietly shut down with a shoulder issue, and another arm, Ian Hamilton, continued to struggle. Advertisement By the end of the night, uncertainty hung over the relief corps, and now, it appears reinforcements are on the way. New York Yankees reliever Brent Headrick pitches in spring training.© Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images According to Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, the Yankees are calling up left-hander Brent Headrick from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Kuty reported on (formerly Twitter) that Headrick will join the big-league club ahead of Thursday's series finale against Texas. The 26-year-old Headrick, acquired off waivers from the Twins this winter, has quietly impressed in the minors. In 10 appearances for the RailRiders, Headrick has posted a 3.38 ERA with 25 strikeouts over 21.1 innings. He offers a second left-handed option in the bullpen alongside Tim Hill and could provide value as a long reliever if needed. Advertisement Though the Yankees have not officially announced a corresponding move, several possibilities are in play. Fernando Cruz, who hasn't pitched since Saturday, could land on the injured list. Boone said Cruz is dealing with 'some shoulder stuff' but downplayed the severity, noting imaging showed no structural damage. Ian Hamilton, meanwhile, gave up another home run Wednesday and now holds a 6.28 ERA through 14 appearances. The right-hander has a minor league option remaining, which gives the Yankees flexibility if they choose to make a performance-based change. With the bullpen in transition and more arms returning from the injured list, Thursday may be the first of several moves to come.
