New information regarding the Yankees’ key injured bullpen arm

Earlier this week, the New York Yankees made the announcement that Jake Cousins will be placed on the injured list due to a right pectoral injury, which would result in the conclusion of his regular season. Following a consultation with Dr. Christopher Ahmad, imaging was performed, and the results showed that the muscle had not sustained any serious damage. Jake Cousins is planning to make a possible return on October 5th. The reason he is aiming for that particular date? The Yankees have a six-game advantage in the American League East, which means that they are almost certain to play their first playoff game. This would be Game 1 of the American League Division Series, which would be the first game of the competition.

Jake Cousins will be hoping to re-join the squad for the postseason and make an already formidable pitching staff even more powerful tonight, when he has the opportunity to successfully clinch the game.On September 22nd, the Yankees made the announcement that Jake Cousins will be placed on the 15-day disabled list due to a right pectoral strain. Although it was unfortunate, it was not a terribly shocking development either. Due to right pectoral tightness, the right-handed pitcher was forced to leave a game against the Mariners in Seattle. His fastball reached a maximum velocity of 92 miles per hour, while his sinker typically averages between 94 and 96 miles per hour more often than not.

In the month of September, the right-handed pitcher appeared to be off his game despite the fact that he had been battling with some tightness in that area and had attempted to pitch through it. Although Cousins has some walk troubles, he appeared to be all over the place, as evidenced by his 4.50 earned run average and 27.6% walk rate, which were both signals that he had not been rebounding well between appearances. He finished the season with a 2.37 earned run average and a strikeout-to-batter ratio of 21.3%, becoming one of Aaron Boone’s most trusted weapons despite the fact that he was a late addition.

The Yankees made a scoop by acquiring Jake Cousins from the White Sox in exchange for monetary considerations. Cousins has the potential to be a critical component for the Yankees in their pursuit of a potential postseason run.
