Jake Cousins Throws Live Batting Practice

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (forearm) threw roughly 15 pitches in a live batting practice session at Yankee Stadium before the team's blowout win over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. Cousins said that he is eyeing a big-league return in early to mid June. He was transferred from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on March 27 due to a right-forearm strain, and he's eligible to return as early as May 26. The 30-year-old hurler will soon go on a minor-league rehab assignment after maybe a few more live BP sessions. When he's healthy enough to return to New York's big-league bullpen, Cousins will be an option in late-inning, high-leverage situations after posting a career-best 2.37 ERA (4.06 FIP), a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 innings over 37 appearances out of the bullpen.

Jake Cousins "A Couple Of Weeks" From Throwing Live Batting Practice

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (forearm) is "a couple of weeks" away from throwing live batting practice, manager Aaron Boone said on Wednesday. Cousins was moved to the 60-day injured list on March 27 with a right-forearm strain and isn't eligible to return until May 26. The 30-year-old has been nursing his forearm injury since February, but the good news is he recently was cleared to start throwing bullpen sessions. Barring a setback once he begins facing live hitters and eventually goes on a minor-league rehab assignment, Cousins will rejoin New York's bullpen in the first half of the season. In his first year in the Bronx in 2024, he had a career-best 2.37 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 relief innings in the regular season. Cousins will be a potential late-inning relief option for the Yanks in another month-plus.

Jake Cousins Recovering, Ian Hamilton To Return Soon

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (elbow) is under a week away from getting back on the mound, according to the New York Daily News' Gary Phillips. Meanwhile, right-handed reliever Ian Hamilton (illness) is scheduled to rejoin the Yankees' bullpen for their series in Detroit that starts on Monday, April 7. Cousins was unable to pitch at all in spring training due to a right-elbow flexor strain and began the regular season on the 60-day injured list as a result. The 30-year-old pitched well for the Yanks down the stretch and could be back in a high-leverage role eventually in 2025, but he won't be eligible to return until at least late May. Hamilton dealt with an undisclosed illness in spring training but is now feeling better after going on a minor-league rehab assignment. He's been solid for the Yankees since 2023 with a 3.10 ERA and 1.28 WHIP, but he's unlikely to have much fantasy appeal in a middle-relief role.

Jake Cousins Throwing At 90 Feet

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said on Monday that right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (forearm) is throwing out to 90 feet at camp. Cousins suffered a right-forearm strain early in spring training, which has kept him from pitching in any games. While the 30-year-old veteran is making progress, there's just not enough time for him to get his arm built up with Opening Day coming next Thursday. However, if Cousins is able to avoid any setbacks with his arm when he gets back on the mound, he could be ready to rejoin New York's bullpen and make his 2025 debut early in April. He was impressive for the Yankees last year after being acquired in a trade with the White Sox, posting a career-low 2.37 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 relief innings in the regular season. Although he won't really be an option for saves, he could return to a high-leverage setup role when healthy.

Jake Cousins To Begin Throwing Program On Monday

The New York Post's Greg Joyce reports that New York Yankees right-hander Jake Cousins (forearm), who reported to spring training with a forearm strain, is scheduled to begin a throwing program on Monday after a five-week shutdown. "I'm ready to go," Cousins said. He will not be ready by Opening Day at the end of March, but barring a setback once he resumes throwing, Cousins might be able to make his 2025 debut early in April. The 30-year-old reliever had a strong first year with the Yankees in 2024, posting a 2.37 ERA (4.06 FIP), a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 relief innings. Cousins rode the success of his slider, which generated a 47.7% whiff rate, to earn a high-leverage role in the Yankees' bullpen in the second half. His swing-and-miss stuff is real, but control issues could be a problem with more exposure.

Jake Cousins, Clayton Beeter Dealing With Injuries

New York Yankees right-handers Jake Cousins (forearm) and Clayton Beeter (shoulder) are both dealing with injuries prior to the start of spring training. Cousins is dealing with a forearm strain but could start throwing next week or the week after, according to manager Aaron Boone. The injury has put his status for Opening Day in question. Beeter, meanwhile, had a "shoulder issue" this offseason but is already throwing side sessions. The 30-year-old Cousins had a career-best 2.37 ERA and 1.05 WHIP with his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 relief innings in 2024 in his first year with the Yankees. If healthy, he should see more high-leverage work in New York's 'pen thanks to his 34% strikeout rate last year. Beeter has been mostly a starter in the minors, but he's likely ticketed for a middle-relief bullpen role if he makes the Opening Day roster.

Yankees Include Jake Cousins On ALDS Roster

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (pectoral) has been included on the team's postseason roster for the American League Division Series against the Kansas City Royals. Cousins hasn't pitched for the Yankees since Sept. 19 due to a strained right pectoral muscle, but he was able to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is feeling better. The 30-year-old will join a bullpen that includes Luke Weaver, Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle, Ian Hamilton, Tim Hill and Tim Mayza. In his first year in the Bronx after spending his first three years in the big leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers, Cousins has posted a career-best 2.37 ERA (4.06 FIP), a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in his 38 innings out of the bullpen. The Yankees notably left veteran right-hander Marcus Stroman off the ALDS roster.
