The New York Yankees announced significant roster changes prior to their series opener in Toronto. Reliever Fernando Cruz has been placed on the injured list due to a left oblique strain, following a previous stint for shoulder inflammation. In his absence, the team recalled right-hander Geoff Hartlieb from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Meanwhile, infielder CJ Alexander has been designated for assignment after failing to appear in a game since being claimed from the Athletics. These moves reflect the team's ongoing adjustments to address injuries and optimize their roster.
Fernando Cruz has been placed on the injured list with a left oblique strain, leading to the recall of right-hander Geoff Hartlieb from Triple-A.
Cruz had just returned from shoulder inflammation and is now experiencing another setback, impacting the Yankees' bullpen depth.
CJ Alexander was designated for assignment after not appearing in a game for the Yankees, clearing space on the 40-man roster.
Hartlieb's performance at Triple-A shows promise, with a solid ERA, but his major league statistics indicate a challenging career thus far.
