Yankees reliever Scott Effross suffered a setback in his recovery from a Grade 2 left hamstring strain and remains in a "holding pattern," according to Greg Joyce of the New York Post. Effross, who suffered the initial injury Feb. 25, has yet to progress to facing hitters and remains without a timetable.

Fantasy Impact

Effross suffered a setback recovering from his Grade 2 hamstring strain and remains without a timetable. Still yet to face hitters, the reliever is nowhere near a return and holds no fantasy value.

The Yankees placed Scott Effross on the 15-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact

Effross has been sidelined since the end of February with a Grade 2 hamstring strain. He'll miss at least the first couple weeks of the season.

Scott Effross has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 left hamstring strain, per Greg Joyce of the New York Post.

Fantasy Impact

Effross suffered the injury while delivering his first and only pitch in a Grapefruit League outing earlier this week. He has since received a PRP injection and is expected to be sidelined for an extended period. This is another setback for the right-hander, who has made just 32 major league appearances over the past two seasons due to various injuries. His availability for the start of the regular season is now in serious doubt.

Scott Effross was removed from Tuesday’s Grapefruit League game against the Twins after throwing just one pitch, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Fantasy Impact

Effross appeared to grab at his hamstring area before walking off the mound with a trainer. The Yankees have yet to provide an official update on his status, but any setback is concerning for the right-hander, who is working his way back after missing all of 2023 following Tommy John surgery. His role in the bullpen remains uncertain, and his availability for the start of the season could be in jeopardy depending on the severity of the injury.

The Yankees recalled Scott Effross from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Fantasy Impact

Effross takes the bullpen spot of Mark Leiter Jr. who was placed on the paternity list. He'll likely only be with the team for the next few days.
