Yankees’ Gerrit Cole On 60-Day Injured List With Right Elbow Inflammation Achi-News

HOUSTON: New York Yankees ace Gerrit Cole was placed on the 60-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation before Thursday’s opener in Houston.

The earliest the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner can play in the big leagues is May 27. The team announced March 16 that the right-hander will not throw for three to four weeks because of nerve inflammation and edema in his throwing elbow.

New York placed outfielder DJ LeMahieu on the 10-day disabled list, retroactive to Monday, with a bruised right foot. With LeMahieu out, manager Aaron Boone moved Gleyber Torres to the leadoff spot to face forward Framber Valdez.

The Yankees also placed infielder Oswald Peraza on the 10-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, with a right shoulder strain and added outfielder Jon Berti to the active list a day after he was acquired from Miami.

Also placed on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to Monday, were right-handers Tommy Kahnle (right shoulder inflammation) and McKinley Moore (right knee bursitis).

Right-hander Luis Gil was recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and the Yankees selected the contract of right-hander Nick Burdi from Scranton.
