Yankees reliever Jake Cousins will undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for an extended period following a right elbow flexor strain and a pectoral injury. Despite showing promise with a 2.37 ERA last season, he struggled during rehab with ominous elbow issues. Meanwhile, the Yankees' bullpen has also faced challenges, with a 3.64 ERA this season, compounded by injuries to key players. However, there are hopes for recovery with JT Brubaker's potential activation, bringing experience back to the roster.
Cousins, having struggled due to prior elbow and pectoral injuries, is set to undergo Tommy John surgery, sidelining him for the entire 2025 and part of 2026 seasons.
Yankees' reliever Jake Cousins was a key addition last year with a 2.37 ERA but now faces extended rehabilitation after Tommy John surgery is confirmed.
With the bullpen posting a 3.64 ERA, injuries have significantly affected performance; however, help is anticipated via JT Brubaker's imminent activation.
Cousins, who is 31, had seen a declining performance in October last year, contributing to the decision to proceed with surgery following rehab struggles.
