MLB Injury Updates: Yankees' Aaron Boone on Jake Cousins' Condition Against Mariners
MLB Injury Updates: Jake Cousins Exits Early
The New York Yankees are on the brink of a successful 90-win season, but recent matchups have presented challenges, especially against the Seattle Mariners. In a tight game that ended in a narrow 3-2 loss, Aaron Boone struggled to maneuver through Dan Wilson’s batting lineup. A significant concern for fans emerged when reliever Jake Cousins was pulled from the game. Boone and the Yankees' staff decided to err on the side of caution regarding Cousins’ health as he experienced tightness in his right pec, potentially affecting his postseason readiness.
Yankees' Pitching Performance
In a game where Cousins could only manage 0.1 innings and struck out a batter despite his discomfort, the rest of the Yankees' pitching was serviceable but not stellar. Clarke Schmidt led on the mound, pitching five innings and achieving seven strikeouts, though he allowed one earned run and three walks. Other pitchers like Tim Hill and Clay Holmes faced challenges as well, unable to find their rhythm in a pivotal series for the Yankees.
