The Yankees’ worst fears were confirmed Saturday, when they placed Michael King on the 60-day injured list with a fractured right elbow.
The right-hander suffered the injury throwing a pitch to Ramon Urias in the eighth inning of the Yankees’ win Friday night over the Orioles at Camden Yards. King was in New York on Saturday undergoing tests to determine if there’s any ligament damage in addition to the fracture.
“We’ll continue to assess the roster, but King is a really important member of our bullpen,’’ Cashman said. “Ultimately, I’ve got from now until Aug. 2.” Greene, the 34-year-old right-hander who came up through the Yankees system and pitched in The Bronx in 2014, had also been pitching at SWB. He pitched one inning Saturday, giving up a two-run homer to UriasNeither Schmidt nor Greene can replace King, whom Boone called “one of the best relievers in all of baseball.
The Yankees are still hoping Zack Britton, who had elbow surgery last year, will return at some point down the stretch, but the lefty’s comeback was once seen as a luxury.
