At a time when the New York Yankees could really use bullpen reinforcements, the club received some disheartening news regarding the status of a veteran reliever. Per MLB.com’s Jackson Stone, manager Aaron Boone stated on Wednesday that right-hander Jake Cousins is currently dealing with a UCL injury and that he’s in the process of receiving additional opinions before any further steps are taken. It’s easy to assume that a UCL injury would necessitate Tommy John surgery, but the hope for all parties involved is that Cousins avoids that diagnosis. The severity of his ailment is still unknown at this point in time, though the 30-year-old has been hit rather hard by the injury bug throughout his entire tenure with the Yankees.
