Beeter (shoulder) struck out all four batters he faced in his first rehab appearance with Single-A Tampa on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a good start for Beeter, who should move up to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre eventually before being activated from the 15-day injured list. Beeter did not make any spring training appearances, so it could be a relatively lengthy rehab assignment.

The Yankees placed Beeter on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to right shoulder impingement syndrome.

EDGE Analysis

General manager Brian Cashman said last weekend that the Yankees expect Beeter to be out "a while," so the right-hander's move to the IL isn't much of a surprise. He remains without a clear return timeline but may receive one once he is cleared to face live hitters.

General manager Brian Cashman said Saturday that Beeter (shoulder) will be out "a while," Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

While Cashman's comments don't exactly offer the clearest return timeline, it doesn't seem like Beeter is expected back anytime soon. The right-hander has been battling an issue in his throwing shoulder since the start of camp and seemingly hasn't progressed past throwing bullpen sessions.

Beeter (shoulder) is not expected to be ready in time for Opening Day, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beeter has not appeared in a Grapefruit League game because of a right shoulder problem. He had been throwing off a mound, but it's not clear whether he might have suffered a setback. Beeter has been converted to reliever and could work his way into an important role in the Yankees' bullpen, once healthy.

The Yankees have moved Beeter to the bullpen on a permanent basis, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beeter has primarily been a starter in the minors, but he moved to the bullpen last September at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and finished the year with two relief appearances with the Yankees. The righty has always had big stuff, but with a career 12.7 percent walk rate in the minors, a shift to relief was always possible. Beeter is likely to begin the 2025 season at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre but could eventually be a weapon in the Yankees' bullpen. The 26-year-old is a little behind at the start of camp due to a shoulder issue that dates back to last season, but he's been throwing off a mound.

Beeter has been dealing with a right shoulder injury but has resumed throwing bullpen sessions, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Beeter missed time with a shoulder injury last season in the minors, too, but the Yankees are hopeful the righty is close to putting the issue in the rearview mirror. That said, it might be a bit before Beeter is cleared to appear in Grapefruit League games. The 26-year-old has primarily been a starter in the minors but is under consideration for an Opening Day bullpen role.

The Yankees recalled Beeter from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Beeter will come up to replace Jake Cousins (pectoral), who landed on the 15-day injured list. The right-handed Beeter was at one point feared lost for the season due to a shoulder injury, but he was able to return to action in the minors earlier this month. He allowed just one hit over four scoreless innings after rejoining Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Beeter (shoulder) was reinstated from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 60-day injured list Saturday and was assigned to Double-A Somerset.

EDGE Analysis

Beeter proceeded to appear out of the Somerset bullpen later that day, striking out two and allowing one hit and no walks over a scoreless inning. The right-hander had turned in a 2.53 ERA over 32 innings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before hitting the shelf in May with a right shoulder injury.

Per Beeter's (shoulder) MLB.com player page, he was transferred from the minor-league 7-day IL to the minor-league 60-day IL on July 22.

EDGE Analysis

Beeter last pitched for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on May 15, and he was subsequently transferred to the 7-day injured list due to a shoulder injury. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said July 9 that the 25-year-old is in danger of missing the remainder of the season, so it's not surprising to see him transferred to the 60-day IL. Beeter had been pitching well prior to getting hurt, posting a 2.53 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 32 innings for the Triple-A club. He also got into one game for the Yankees, allowing one hit in a scoreless inning versus Houston on March 29.

Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said Tuesday that Beeter is seeing a specialist for his right shoulder and could miss the rest of the season, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to landing on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list May 21, Beeter was 3-1 over seven starts with a 2.53 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 44:21 K:BB over 32 innings. The Yankees could opt to sit the 25-year-old right-hander for the rest of the season so he can get an early jump on preparing for 2025.
