The Yankees released their American League Division Series roster on Tuesday, and three major names aren’t listed: DJ LeMahieu, Scott Effross and Oswald Peraza.
YES Network’s Jack Curry reported Effross, who was expected to be a linchpin reliever for the team, is excluded because he needs Tommy John surgery. He’s just the latest in New York’s bullpen to be sidelined with an injury this season. Clay Holmes (shoulder strain) and Wandy Peralta (back) are both returning for the ALDS series against the Guardians.
However, pitchers Zack Britton (on 60-day IL for shoulder fatigue), Chad Green (Tommy John surgery), Michael King (elbow fracture) and Ron Marinaccio are all excluded from the roster as well, as is Aroldis Chapman after his unexcused absence from the team.
