The New York Yankees suffered a recent loss to their bullpen corps: Tommy Kahnle, one of the best and most reliable relievers on the team, will be sidelined for a long time following an elbow injury. That’s unfortunate, no doubt about it, but if there is a team in the major leagues that can absorb the blow of a reliever getting hurt, that team is the Yankees.
Lately, right-hander reliever Nick Nelson stole the show. In addition, the Yankees are getting good news on the injured Luis Cessa. The versatile Mexican is very close to being game-ready after missing the first week and a half of the season with a positive COVID-19 test.
