In recent days, the Yankees bullpen has taken a hit. First, Chad Green left his outing almost a week ago with forearm tightness, and on this past Sunday, our worst fears were confirmed: season-ending Tommy John surgery was in his future. Then on Sunday, it was revealed that Aroldis Chapman was dealing with an Achilles issue, and yesterday afternoon, he hit the injured list with left Achilles tendinitis. Add in the fact that Jonathan Loáisiga has given up just four fewer runs in 16.2 innings than he did in 70.2 innings all last season, and it’s clear that the Yankees need some bullpen reinforcements.
