Fernando Cruz of New York Yankees Placed on 15-Day Injured List Due to Right Shoulder Inflammation

Fernando Cruz's absence could impact the Yankees' bullpen depth. Cruz has pitched 23 2/3 innings this season with a 2.66 ERA and a WHIP of .97. With two saves and 35 strikeouts, his role as a setup man will need to be filled by other relievers like Devin Williams or Mark Leiter Jr.

The Yankees have upcoming games against the Texas Rangers at Yankee Stadium. Cruz's recent performance shows a strong home ERA of 0.68, which will be missed. The team will look to other pitchers in the bullpen to maintain their strong performance at home.
