"Cousins was placed on the 60-day injured list with a right elbow flexor strain before the New York Yankees played their Opening Day game last year. He later underwent Tommy John surgery on June 16 to end his season."
"Cousins has limited Major League experience, with just 88 appearances since 2021. The right-handed reliever had a nice season with the Yankees in 2024, with a 2.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 12.55 strikeouts per nine innings across 38 innings of work."
"Ultimately, the goal of this deal is to see if how he recovers and if he can contribute next season. It is a textbook, low-risk, high-reward move."
Jake Cousins signed a one-year, $950,000 deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers, including performance incentives. He is recovering from Tommy John surgery after a right elbow flexor strain. Cousins has limited experience, with 88 appearances since 2021, but had a strong 2024 season with a 2.37 ERA. The Dodgers hope he can contribute next season, making this a low-risk, high-reward signing. To accommodate Cousins, Bobby Miller was placed on the 60-day IL due to shoulder soreness.
