The Yankees have placed reliever Mark Leiter Jr. on the injured list due to a left fibular head stress fracture sustained while covering first base. Clayton Beeter has been added to the active roster in his place. Leiter initially felt a calf injury after the incident but later reported feeling compromised. Before the injury, he had a strong season with a 3.48 ERA and 44 strikeouts. Beeter, despite a rough debut, has performed well in the minors. The Yankees' pitching staff is struggling with injuries, necessitating a reliable performance from Beeter.
Leiter's injury is a left fibular head stress fracture, which he sustained while covering first base in a game against the Reds on June 24th.
Leiter had a strong bounce-back season before the injury, with a 3.48 ERA and 44 strikeouts in 31 innings.
Clayton Beeter has been called up to replace Leiter, having posted a 2.14 ERA in the minors, despite struggling in his season debut.
The Yankees' relief corps needs someone to step up due to recent injuries and Leiter's decline in performance after his injury.
