Jake Cousins "A Couple Of Weeks" From Throwing Live Batting Practice
New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (forearm) is "a couple of weeks" away from throwing live batting practice, manager Aaron Boone said on Wednesday. Cousins was moved to the 60-day injured list on March 27 with a right-forearm strain and isn't eligible to return until May 26. The 30-year-old has been nursing his forearm injury since February, but the good news is he recently was cleared to start throwing bullpen sessions. Barring a setback once he begins facing live hitters and eventually goes on a minor-league rehab assignment, Cousins will rejoin New York's bullpen in the first half of the season. In his first year in the Bronx in 2024, he had a career-best 2.37 ERA, a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in 38 relief innings in the regular season. Cousins will be a potential late-inning relief option for the Yanks in another month-plus.
