US EditionYankees reliever Jake Cousins has injury setback, this time a pec issue
- Yankees right-hander Jake Cousins experienced pectoral discomfort after batting practice on May 6, leading to a shutdown of throwing for 4-5 days as of May 10, 2025.
- This setback follows a previous forearm strain and a pec issue late last season, which delayed Cousins’ return after last pitching in the fall of 2024.
- Last season, Cousins played a key role in the Yankees’ bullpen, posting a 2.37 ERA while recording 53 strikeouts and 20 walks over 38 innings of relief work.
- Manager Aaron Boone confirmed that medical tests showed no shoulder damage, but the pec discomfort requires caution, stating Cousins will not throw for four or five days.
- The injury prolongs Cousins’ absence, pushing his potential return toward the All-Star break, which complicates the Yankees’ efforts to strengthen their bullpen early in the 2025 season.
