Scott Effross, a relief pitcher for the New York Yankees, suffered a leg injury while pitching in spring training, marking another setback for his health. Acquired in 2022, Effross has struggled to maintain his fitness, having missed the whole of the 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery. His brief appearances in 2024 also yielded poor performance. With other injuries plaguing the Yankees, including the need for Tommy John surgery for Chase Hampton, Effross's situation represents a significant concern for the team's bullpen depth as they navigate the early stages of the season.
The injury bug continues to hit the New York Yankees as relief pitcher Scott Effross injured his leg after throwing just one pitch during Tuesday's spring training game against the Minnesota Twins.
Effross missed the entirety of the 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery in his right elbow that he received at the end of the 2022 campaign.
There's going to be more injuries, it's baseball. It's a long season and you can't have too many pitchers.
Losing Effross this early, especially after Chase Hampton's need for Tommy John surgery, would be a huge blow to the bullpen.
