The New York Yankees' short-handed bullpen took another hit Tuesday after the team placed right-handed relief pitcher Ron Marinaccio on the injured list with a stress reaction in his right shin.
Manager Aaron Boone told the news to reporters:
Bob NightengaleThe <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Yankees?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Yankees</a> place reliable reliever Ron Marinaccio on the IL with a stress reaction in his right shin. ‘It’s a blow,’ manager Aaron Boone says. He will be out at least until the ALCS if <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Yankees?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#Yankees</a> advance past the division series.
Marinaccio, who sports a 2.05 ERA in 40 appearances, isn't eligible to return until the American League Championship Series round should the Yankees make it that far.
