New York Yankees right-hander Scott Effross has a grade two hamstring strain, manager Aaron Boone told reporters Thursday, the latest setback for the injury-plagued reliever.
Effross, 31, left his second spring training appearance after just one pitch Tuesday.
Boone told reporters that Effross' recovery will "take some time," adding that he received a platelet-rich-plasma injection.
Acquired in an August 2022 trade with Chicago Cubs, Effross made 13 appearances for the Yankees that season, then had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 13 of that year.
Effross also had back pain that required surgery, limiting him to three big league appearances last season.
