The New York Yankees are grappling with significant injury issues this spring season, losing ace Gerrit Cole to Tommy John surgery, meaning he will miss all of 2025. Additional pitchers in the rotation face injury struggles, and the lineup is similarly affected, with notable players like Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu also out for extended periods. Amid these challenges, general manager Brian Cashman has indicated that budget limitations will make it difficult for the Yankees to pursue meaningful roster additions, despite the pressing need.
The Yankees are facing significant injury challenges this spring, with key pitchers Gerrit Cole and rotation-mate sidelined, potentially impacting their playoff chances.
Despite injury struggles, the Yankees' budget constraints may hinder their ability to make valuable roster additions, according to general manager Brian Cashman.
The rotation is particularly thin now, with Cole's Tommy John surgery and the expected absence of a couple of months for additional starting pitchers.
With a payroll projected at $285MM, any potential roster additions for the Yankees will have to navigate their tight financial constraints and competitive balance tax limits.
