It’s been very hard to coax innings out of Chad Green, Luis Cessa, and Luis Severino, but there should be some quality arms coming down the pipeline.
Considering the pitching injuries that have plagued the Yankees in the past, it’s pretty surprising that the Yankees have gotten 101 starts from Masahiro Tanaka, CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda, and Nathan Eovaldi. This doesn’t mean the pitching staff has been great—only Tanaka and Sabathia have above-average ERAs—but it does mean that the Yankees haven’t had to rely on the likes of Chris Capuano, Chase Whitley, Esmil Rogers, and Vidal Nuno. Innings, even if they aren’t exceptional, can bee valuable in sheer quantity.
