Cousins, whom the Yankees placed on the 15-day injured list earlier Sunday with a right pectoral strain, could resume mound work within the next week, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The pec strain has brought Cousins' regular season to an end, but if he can return to elevated ground this week as hoped, he may still be an option for New York at some point in the postseason. Cousins ranks fifth on the team in holds with eight to go along with a 2.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB over 38 innings in his first season in pinstripes.

The Yankees placed Cousins (pectoral) on the 15-day injured list Sunday, retroactive to Sept. 20.

EDGE Analysis

There was initial optimism that Cousins would avoid the IL after he left Thursday's game with pectoral tightness, but his regular season is officially over after he was diagnosed with a right pec strain. Cousins has pitched well this season with a 2.37 ERA and 1.05 WHIP in 38 innings, and the Yankees are likely holding out hope that he can be an option in the postseason.

Cousins (pectoral) is likely to be out for a few days after exiting his outing Thursday, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cousins was pulled with the issue in the sixth inning. After the game, he said he's been dealing with the injury since Sunday but had progressed to the point where he thought he could pitch in game action. Even with the setback, it appears that Cousins will avoid the injured list.

Cousins was removed from Thursday's game against the Mariners due to right pectoral tightness, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees' training staff saw something they didn't like after Cousins struck out Julio Rodriguez in the sixth inning, and they made the decision to pull their right-hander after he recorded just one out. The team will take a closer look at Cousins in the clubhouse to determine the severity of his injury, though he may be unavailable out of the bullpen for the next couple of days.

Cousins walked one and struck out two in a scoreless and hitless inning to earn the save in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the White Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Cousins inherited runners on the corners from Tommy Kahnle. A one-out walk loaded the bases, but Cousins was able to escape the jam unscathed to earn his first career save. The Yankees' bullpen has been leaned on heavily in recent games, with Clay Holmes and Enyel De Los Santos among the high-leverage options that were likely unavailable Tuesday. As such, don't expect Cousins to see many more save chances, though he could be due more late-inning work since he has a 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB over 24 innings this season.

The Yankees recalled Cousins from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After right-handed reliever Yoendrys Gomez worked two innings in Wednesday's 12-2 loss to the Mets, the Yankees will move him off the 26-man active roster for a fresh bullpen arm in Cousins. The 29-year-old previously made two relief appearances for the Yankees but has otherwise spent the entire 2024 campaign at Triple-A, where he's covered six innings while giving up two earned runs and striking out eight batters.

Cousins was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

The Yankees selected Cousins' contract from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last week, and he allowed one earned run with a 4:3 K:BB over three innings during his brief time in the majors. The 29-year-old could rejoin the big club later in the season as bullpen depth is needed.

The Yankees selected Cousins' contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Cousins was acquired via trade from the White Sox on Sunday and will immediately be added to the major-league roster. The 29-year-old struggled in 2023 during his brief time in the majors and dealt with shoulder issues, but he posted a 2.70 ERA and 65:27 K:BB over 43.1 relief innings with the Brewers from 2021-22. Cousins will be used in low-leverage spots initially.

The Yankees are expected to call up Cousins prior to Monday's game in Arizona, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cousins was acquired from the White Sox on Sunday and it appears he'll head straight to the big leagues. The Yankees will need to make 26-man and 40-man roster moves in order to add him, and it's not clear at this point what those will be.

Cousins was traded from the White Sox to the Yankees on Sunday in return for cash considerations.

EDGE Analysis

Cousins signed a minor-league contract with Chicago in December, but he'll now head to the Big Apple. The right-hander appeared in nine games with the Brewers in 2023, producing a 4.82 ERA with seven strikeouts and 10 walks allowed over 9.1 innings. He'll likely begin his tenure with the Yankees at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
