CLEVELAND (AP) — There’s a valid reason for Domingo Germán’s recent struggles.
The New York Yankees placed the right-hander on the injured list with a left hip flexor, an injury that has bothered him for a few weeks but he didn’t disclose to the team until Saturday.
Germán became the 19th Yankees player on the IL this season, one shy of last year’s total for the entire season.
He has an 8.59 ERA in his past three starts, a span in which he has given up seven homers in 14 2/3 innings.
