Yankees Place RHP Fernando Cruz on Injured List with Right Shoulder Inflammation
- The New York Yankees placed reliever Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list on Thursday due to right shoulder inflammation.
- Cruz experienced growing inflammation for three weeks and felt pain during a May 18 outing versus the Mets, which led to the injury list move.
- After experiencing increased arm inflammation, Cruz received a cortisone injection that caused temporary arm weakness for two days, though MRI and other imaging revealed no additional injury or structural damage.
- Cruz holds a 1-2 record with a 2.66 ERA, two saves, and 21 appearances this season, and Brent Headrick was recalled from Triple-A to replace him.
- Manager Aaron Boone said Cruz "has been great, but these things happen," and expects him to start throwing off a mound soon during the upcoming road trip.
