As for the bullpen, Ron Marinaccio has to be a lock, and frequent 2022 arm Albert Abreu is in better shape too. Shooting from the hip, it does seem like Kahnle has a solid chance to return not long after Opening Day he just needs time to ramp up once his current 10-day shutdown ends.īack to the top though, barring a surprise late spring addition, Germán and Schmidt now both have strong odds of joining the Opening Day rotation behind ace Gerrit Cole, right-hander Luis Severino, and lefty Nestor Cortes (who is on track to make the team after a hamstring scare that forced him out of the World Baseball Classic). They were productive down the stretch for their respective teams (Yankees and Dodgers), and will be much appreciated upon regaining health. Those are two arms who are expected to be a big part of the bullpen in 2023 and while New York is pretty savvy as an organization in churning out successful relievers, they will still look forward to the return of both right-handers. The Trivino/Kahnle news is also a bummer, though Kahnle’s was less out of the blue. As a personal policy, I refuse to panic on March 9th.
He did make 55 good starts for the White Sox and Giants between 2021-22 after early-career woes, so hopefully this is just a speed bump with an eye toward ensuring he’s healthy for when it matters most (Rodón himself is certainly on board with that). Still, while the lefty Rodón is talented, he has a checkered injury history with 2019 Tommy John surgery and other shoulder ailments, so you’ll forgive other fans for wincing a little about this news. As Kuty’s tweet alluded above, he won’t throw for about a week and a half and they’re eyeing an April return. The Yankees could be simply playing it safe with Rodón after investing a six-year, $162 million contract in him this past December. #Yankees- Brendan Kuty March 9, 2023įor the optimists out there, Cashman downplayed the severity of Rodón’s injury, noting that he worked through a similar problem last year without missing time and that it’s “not serious.” He felt something on a slider just before his exhibition start on Sunday, but an MRI on Wednesday confirmed that this injury is minor and that the UCL is intact.
Lou Trivino has an elbow ligament strain.
