Jake Cousins, New York Yankees, Placed on 60-Day Injured List Due to Right Forearm Strain, Expected Return in June
Jake Cousins of the New York Yankees is out with a right forearm strain and has been placed on the 60-day injured list, with a return expected in June.
What It Means
Jake Cousins' absence might affect the New York Yankees' bullpen depth. With Cousins out, other relief pitchers like Mark Leiter Jr. and Tim Hill may see more innings. This could change the game strategy in the upcoming series against the Athletics.
Cousins has struggled with forearm issues since March 2025. His absence means the Yankees will not have his pitching stats to rely on this season. As they face the Athletics next, the team will need to adjust without Cousins in the lineup.
