Yankees reliever Jake Cousins is facing a setback in his rehab from a right elbow flexor strain due to a pec strain that appeared after his latest live batting practice. Manager Aaron Boone assured that the injury is not serious but will delay Cousins' expected return to mid-June. Boone noted that Cousins underwent tests for his pec but expressed confidence that it was merely discomfort. With a solid bullpen already in place and key players returning from injury, the Yankees hope Cousins can recover fully to leverage his high strikeout ability.
"We don't think it's anything serious, but enough to hold him back a few days," Boone said, noting the pec issue arose after Cousins' recent live batting practice.
"I just think it was him having a little bit of discomfort. Hopefully it's not anything serious," Boone commented on the nature of Cousins' injury.
"Cousins can get healthy, he would provide another back-end option with high strikeout potential after turning into a high-leverage arm by the end of last season."
