The New York Yankees made a handful of moves Thursday night. New York -- like the rest of Major League Baseball -- is preparing for what is expected to be an extremely active offseason.
The New York Yankees experienced a significant blow to their bullpen on Wednesday afternoon. Relief pitcher Jimmy Cordero was suspended for the rest of the 2023 season following a violation of the MLB’s domestic abuse policy.
The Baltimore Orioles stormed back with an eight-run seventh inning to overcome a 5-1 deficit on Wednesday to beat the Yankees 9-6. Now they can win the three-game series if they can take the finale on Thursday night in New York.
Following a series sweep against the Cincinnati Reds, the New York Yankees have reclaimed the top spot among MLB bullpens with a 2.87 ERA. Despite injuries leading to inconsistent performances in other positions, the Bombers’ bullpen has thrived this season.
The New York Yankees delivered an impressive performance on Monday night without calling upon a starting pitcher. Regular bullpen pitcher, Jimmy Cordero, began the game and provided the Yankees with two scoreless innings before passing the ball to Jhony Brito.
Finding the subtle changes that have fully unlocked Cordero’s arsenal. It’s still only been three weeks and nine appearances, but Jimmy Cordero is already starting to fit snugly into the mold formed by the likes of Clay Holmes, Wandy Peralta, Lucas Luetge, Scott Effross, or Joely Rodríguez, among others.
The Yankees have seen impressive bullpen performances from a plethora of arms in camp, and while the ERA isn’t pretty, Jimmy Cordero has shown off elite-level stuff.
With a few weeks left until Opening Day, expect the Yankees to get Jimmy Cordero heavily involved, making sure he’s ready to pitch at the MLB level.
The Yankees announced that they have added right-hander Jimmy Cordero to their 40-man roster. Cordero, 31, logged 83 innings of MLB action across the 2018-2020 time frame, putting up a 4.55 ERA in that time.
Major League Baseball has handed down a pair of suspensions arising out of last night’s game between Chicago’s crosstown rivals.
Major League Baseball suspended right-hander Jimmy Cordero for three games and fined him an undisclosed amount for intentionally hitting Cubs catcher Wilson Contreras with a pitch.
Contreras said he knew he was going to be hit and could see it coming.
