The New York Yankees have placed left-handed pitcher Ryan Yarbrough on the 15-day injured list due to a strained right oblique. The issue began two starts ago and has now sidelined him from participating in bullpen sessions, leading to the decision to rest him. Yarbrough, in his 33rd year, has appeared in 16 games (eight starts) with a 3-1 record and a 3.90 ERA. He transitioned to the starting rotation from the bullpen following numerous injuries to the Yankees’ roster and an unsuccessful stint with Carlos Carrasco. With Gerrit Cole out for the year following Tommy John surgery, Luis Gil is unavailable until post-All-Star break, and Marcus Stroman is nearing a return after a knee injury, expecting to throw 70 pitches in an upcoming rehab start, potentially rejoining the rotation soon.
Manager Aaron Boone announced that right-hander Allan Winans, 29, will start for the Yankees against the Cincinnati Reds on Monday. Originally drafted by the Mets in 2018, Winans spent three seasons in their minor league system before being traded to the Atlanta Braves. He appeared in eight games for Atlanta in 2023 and 2024, posting a 1-4 record with a 7.20 ERA. Acquired by the Yankees during the offseason, Winans has excelled in Triple-A, maintaining a 7-0 record with a 0.90 ERA in 11 games (nine starts), striking out 59 batters over 50 innings.
