DOMINGO GERMÁN NEWS

Placed on 60-day injured list German (shoulder) landed on the 60-day injured list Thursday, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

Impact Reports of shoulder troubles for German surfaced earlier in the week, and while the specifics of his injury are not yet clear, he's evidently dealing with a fairly serious issue. He'll be ineligible to return before early June. His absence could cement Nestor Cortes' hold on a rotation role, barring any further additions. The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster for the Yankees to add new signee Anthony Rizzo.

Dealing with shoulder issues Manager Aaron Boone said Monday that German had some shoulder issues pop up in late January that delayed the start of the right-hander's throwing program, Brendan Kuty of The Newar...

Impact While German has now started his throwing program now that spring training is underway, his offseason preparation was slowed by his injury. It's not yet clear whether the delay will impact his ability to build up in time for the start of the regular season, especially since pitchers have an abbreviated spring training in 2022. If the right-hander isn't ready to join the starting rotation in time for Opening Day, Jameson Taillon (ankle) and Michael King are candidates to see starts early in the year.

Reaches deal with Yankees German agreed to a one-year, $1.75 million contract with the Yankees on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.

Impact German ended up starting in 18 of 22 appearances for New York last season, and he posted a 4.58 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 98:27 K:BB across 98.1 innings. He'll be in the mix for a rotation spot again during spring training.

Struggles in return to mound Friday German gave up two runs on one hit and two walks while striking out three over 1.1 innings against Tampa Bay on Friday.

Impact The right-hander was activated from the injured list Sept. 22, but Friday marked his first appearance since July 31. The long layoff showed through his control, as German threw only half of his 32 pitches for strikes and walked a pair of batters. The two free passes came back to bite him when Wander Franco brought both runners home on a two-out, ninth-inning single. Given his long layoff and the Yankees' bullpen depth, German's odds of making the team's playoff roster -- should New York qualify for the postseason -- may be quite low.

Back from IL The Yankees reinstated German (shoulder) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Outfielder Estevan Florial was sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to open up a roster spot for German, who had been on the shelf since Aug. 1 with a right shoulder strain. German made a pair of two-inning rehab appearances with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre prior to being activated, and he'll be rejoining New York in a bullpen role after having previously started in 18 of his 21 appearances on the season with the big club.

Return likely imminent German (shoulder) could rejoin the Yankees in the coming days, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Impact German made his second minor-league rehab appearance Saturday, allowing one run on two hits and two walks while striking out three over two innings. His next outing is expected to be out of the Yankees bullpen, where he is likely to remain for the rest of the campaign. German has made 21 appearances for the big club this season, with 18 of those coming as a starter.

Another rehab outing on tap German (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab appearances Friday or Saturday before returning from the injured list, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Impact German delivered two scoreless frames for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, and he'll make one more appearance in the minors before rejoining the Yankees. Assuming all goes well, the right-hander should be activated from the injured list early next week.

Excels in rehab outing German (shoulder) pitched two scoreless innings for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Tuesday, allowing two hits and no walks while striking out four.

Impact The right-hander took the mound in a game for the first time since July 31 and showed little rust, striking out the first four batters he faced. German followed by giving up a pair of singles, but he closed the appearance by inducing an inning-ending double play. Overall, he threw 16 of 25 pitches for strikes. Given manager Aaron Boone's comments prior to German's rehab outing, there is a strong possibility that the 29-year-old could return to the big club soon. "See how he responds; at that point, make a decision. But we expect him to be back with us sooner rather than later," Boone stated, per MLB.com. German is expected to work as a reliever upon rejoining the Yankees.

Targeting weekend return from IL Manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that the team is hoping German (shoulder) will be able to be activated from the 10-day injured list during the upcoming weekend series against Clev...

Impact The Yankees are going to wait to see how German responds to his rehab outing Tuesday before officially determining when he'll be activated. The right-hander initially landed on the IL in late July with a right rotator cuff strain, and he later faced a setback in his recovery when soreness returned in mid-August. He's expected to rejoin the New York bullpen once activated.

Slated for rehab assignment German (shoulder) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday, Justin Shackil of SiriusXM reports.

Impact German's shoulder strain has kept him out of game action since the end of July, so it is unlikely that he'll have enough time to build back up as a starter. However, if the right-hander's rehab stint goes well, he could rejoin the Yankees in a relief role before the end of the regular season.

Close to facing hitters Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that German (shoulder) could be ready to face live hitters soon, Max Goodman of SI.com reports.

Impact Boone's comments come a day after German threw a bullpen session, during which the right-hander used all of his pitches. German is expected to throw another side session within the next few days, and if all goes well, he could take the next step forward in his recovery from a strained shoulder by facing hitters. German looks on track to return from the 10-day injured list before the end of the season, though he likely won't have enough time to build up for a starting role.
