New York Yankees Pitcher Placed On Injured List

The New York Yankees have placed Albert Abreu on the 15-day injured list. The reliever is dealing with elbow inflammation.

Abreu was recently claimed off waivers by the Yankees. Overall, it's been a solid year for him, as he has a 2-2 record and 3.32 ERA in 32 appearances split between the Texas Rangers, Kansas City Royals, and of course, Yankees.

The Yankees will be hoping that Abreu's elbow issue does not force him to miss more time after this stint on the 15-day IL. He has been reliable for the Yankees, so his absence will be noticeable.
