Not good.

Poor kid.

Second TJ? And a flexor… That could be it for the career. It’s a shame, the guys potential is unlimited. If only he had a coach that could actually get through to him. He’s a thrower, not a pitcher.

Good point on the thrower thing. Guys got a cannon

So the Yankees absolutely awful rotation gets even worse. That stinks.
I hope he recovers quickly, never want to see a kid with his upside get hurt

Absolutely horrible rotation, yet 4 games over .500

What do you expect? It’s the Yankees. They win with mediocre teams year in and year out.
One Fan
Oh really … When is the last time they even made the playoffs let alone win a playoff game? They do not win year in and year out
rmullig2
Not likely to be worse if they put Cessa in for Eovaldi.
MB923
By saying worse, do you mean better??? Have you seen his awful numbers since June? I also wouldn’t say it’s awful considering its ranked 16th In WAR (and Eovaldi was 4th on the team). It’s not a loss. It’s addition by subtraction.

That truly stinks. I wonder if the Yankees non-tender him, sign him to a modest contract for 2017 with an option for 2018–provides him with some cushion, and some upside for them. But two tears is two too many.
JKurk22
That overall idea isn’t bad, but they would need to sign him for a couple years and then maybe an option, considering he won’t be able to pitch at all next year.

Wonder if the Yankees made him continue throwing the splitter….. it clearly hurt him last year.

Ouch, well chad green here you go

And that’s why you dont let 24 year olds with a TJ under their belt throw 199 innings. Great job, Mike Redmond, you made this happen, that’s also why no one lets him manage anymore.
bradthebluefish
Oh yeah. Like other players in the past haven’t thrown 200 innings before at the age. Besides, I really, really doubt these innings limits does anything. It’s all about conditioning and not giving every pitch everything you’ve got.

Hate to hear this, but I think the yanks will be ok. For having such a terrible rotation, 4.5 games out ain’t too bad. Green looked as good as eovaldi has at any point this season last night. Warren could also be called upon to start. If I remember correctly, Brian Mitchell could be back soon?
galihaaben 2
kind of tough to say, but theyre probably better off without him plus its probable hes been pitching hurt all season long.
For 2017, they would probably have to trade for a pitcher or look from within (best bet). This offseasons’ SP free agency is looking thin and since they look to be rebuilding, it doesnt seem like theyll be spending anymore cash; unless if its for international talent.

I’d really like to see what Enns can do at the MLB level this year. Hopefully Green can build upon his last game and become a solid starter. Yankees need pitching, but so do a lot of other ball clubs. I wish they’d put Severino back in the bullpen for the rest of the season and see if he can be a solid one inning, sixth or seventh inning pitcher for them.
BronxBombers14
For the remainder of the season, or you’re thinking his going to be a career reliever?
A lot of people have already given up on this kid. The boo birds have started chirping at the stadium. This kid needs some time. He’s only got 100 inning under his belt. If anyone thought he’d continue to look like he did last year without any setbacks, those expectations are unrealistic.

As Casey used to say you never have enough pitching. At this point the Yanks will have a rotation next year of Tanaka, Pineda, CC, Severino, Warren, and either Green, Mitchell, Cessa, Enns, Adams or Montegomery.
ajjosan
due up for a raise? the guy pitched worse this year then he has the year before if anything it should be a pay cut
dust44
Give the kids a chance. I say go to a 6 man rotation, save Tanakas arm alittle.
Tanaka, Sevy, Sabathia, Green, Pineda, Cessa. In the order that way every other day u have a veteran presence to keep the bullpen afloat until September. That’s 2 starts at most a piece till sept and they can extend the pen.
I don’t like the idea of checking out Enns. No gas but gets outs. And would like to c Montgomery get a couple starts.
At this point just make sure tanaka doesn’t hurt that elbow more, get the kids feet wet and hopefully contend for a wild card next year. Even with the expected growing pains
dust44
I do like the idea of checking out Enns*** my bad
motolraced4423
Get well soon nate. Classy individual. Best of luck to him whether with the yanks or not
charlie big
We need to trade for a SP so we have a solid 1-2 starters.
