Yankees Place Ryan Weber, Greg Allen On Injured List

By Mark Polishuk | June 3, 2023 at 4:21pm CDT

The Yankees placed two players on the injured list, with right-hander Ryan Weber heading to the 15-day IL due to a right forearm strain, and outfielder Greg Allen going to the 10-day IL due to a right hip flexor strain.  Utility man Oswaldo Cabrera and left-hander Nick Ramirez were called up from Triple-A to fill the spots on the active roster.

Weber told the New York Post’s Greg Joyce that he other reporters that he felt soreness last night during his two innings of work in the Yankees’ 8-4 loss to the Dodgers.  An MRI will reveal what exactly could be wrong with Weber’s forearm and elbow area, and he and the Yankees can only hope that the worst-case scenario of a Tommy John surgery isn’t the outcome.

Now in his ninth MLB season, Weber has spent the last two seasons in the Bronx on minor league deals.  The 2022 season saw Weber constantly sent up and down to Triple-A in a flurry of DFAs and outrights, though 2023 has at least seen a bit more stability, as the Yankees didn’t select him to the big league roster until May 11, and Weber has remained on the 26-man until today.

Though Weber has tossed only 25 MLB innings between all of his moves on and off the roster, he has performed well when wearing the pinstripes, delivering a 2.16 ERA over those 25 relief frames.  Never a big strikeout pitcher, Weber has only a 10.3% K% as a Yankee, but also a 51.8% grounder rate and a tiny 2.1% walk rate.  While a small sample size, it does represent a nice big step up from Weber’s 5.28 ERA over 167 innings in his first seven seasons, and why Weber has continued to get looks from the Yankees despite the lack of missed bats.

Allen previously played for the Yankees in 2021, and he only made his return two weeks ago after a trade from the Red Sox.  Allen’s encore in the Bronx has thus far seen him hit .214/.313/.571 over 17 plate appearances, as his three hits have included a home run and a triple.

It’s a nice start for a player acquired as outfield depth, but with Allen now on the IL, the Yankees will again turn to Cabrera to help out in their troubled left field position.  While Aaron Judge is having his typically excellent season and Harrison Bader has been very good when healthy, left field has been a revolving door for New York, with seven different players already seeing at least some time in left this season.  With Bader now on the injured list due to a hamstring strain, the Yankees’ outfield depth is further tested.

    Wow, that was fast! Why not call up Peraza instead of Cabrera, since Cabrera isn’t hitting? Makes zero sense.

      Yankees refuse to give up on Donaldson and Torres. Where is Peraza going to play?

        Whatever problems the Yankees have, Torres ain’t it.
        Next year Paraza at short and Volpe at second.

          A DFA would have been needed for Calhoun.

    What is with the Cabrera hating? If we were going to call up a washed up veteran like Calhoun, then why DFA Hicks? Cabrera getting experience and ABs is more valuable to the team and the future, than retreading another journeyman to have essentially the same production as Cabrera. Cabrera is just a kid and I like the way he plays. He will figure it out, and even if he doesn’t, I think we know what the ceiling on freaking Kole Calhoun is.

      How quickly they have forgotten Franchy Cordero ( including the writer of this article ). He is still on the 40 man and looks to be part of the Yankees outfield depth to be tested, yet not a mention in the article nor the comments.
      Since he went back to Scranton, seems he has done well there. Guess he is not on anybody’s mind nor radar.

        Cordero is the definition of AAAA! He was not wanted in SD, KC, and Boston. His .900+ AAA OPS looks great until you see his .500 MLB OPS. Cordero can not consistently hit in the MLB.

      Where is the mention of Franchy Cordero? Still on the 40 man roster, and part of the yankees outfield depth to be tested, but a forgotten man. He has done well at Scranton since being sent down.

    @Bright Side- Torres has had a really good year so far, so their not just going to give him away for nothing, and Donaldson did hit 2 homers last night. Your right though better to keep Peraza at AAA, until they make a trade.

    Weber was a bit vague about his injury to the press.
    They should have grilled him further.

    Feel bad for Weber as he’s been on the DFA train so many times. He finally gets regular playing time in the big leagues and gets hurt. Same for Allen.

      Bright side for him if there is one is that he’s on the major league IL collecting major league service time and pay. Maybe better than languishing in AAA?

    Yanks keep piecing it together until the dead line, need to address LF and 5th starter at that time.

      I was reading an article on the Athletic about teams’ needs. Most contenders needed a left fielder and the ones available aren’t awe inspiring.
      I think the Yankees mostly stand pat at the deadline.

      They’re not going to do much being right up against the next tax threshold. The only way is to trade Gleyber to get some payroll space. That all depends on Volpe’s and Peraza’s developments.

        I can’t imagine trading Torres when he’s one of your most valuable bats right now
