Spring training has already brought some bumps and bruises for the Yankees, but there’s finally some good news on the injury front. According to Greg Joyce of the New York Post, both reliever Jake Cousins and starter Clarke Schmidt are making strides in their recoveries and could be back in action sooner rather than later.
Cousins Ready to Ramp Up
Cousins arrived at camp nursing a forearm issue, but the 30-year-old right-hander is about ready to start ramping up his pitching program. That’s an important development, considering how valuable he was out of the bullpen last season.
