Domingo German is long past the point of being worth anything to the Yankees. And yet, odds are he’ll spend most if not all of the season in pinstripes.
German made his second start of the year in Cleveland on Monday and was once again ineffective. He pitched into the fourth inning, undone by five walks despite allowing just two runs on two hits. And to be fair, German’s bad outing isn’t what cost the Yankees in the 3-2 loss. That was a mix of Ian Hamilton’s late-inning walks and wasted opportunities at the plate.
