Re-evalulating the Yankees bullpen depth after the Nick Rumbelow injury

The Yankees bullpen took a hit with Nick Rumbelow missing the rest of the year, but they should manage to survive.

On Monday the Yankees received the unfortunate news that pitcher Nick Rumbelow needs Tommy John surgery and will miss the rest of the 2016 season. While the most important thing to consider is Rumbelow's health, and hopefully he can fully recover from this, one can't help but wonder what his injury means for the team's bullpen depth. Even though he didn't make the team's Opening Day roster, Rumbelow figured to be a part of the bullpen plan for 2016.
