Impact It's a moderate strain that Effross suffered while delivering his one and only pitch during a Grapefruit League appearance earlier this week. The reliever has been given a PRP injection and is looking at an extended absence. Effross has made just 32 appearances over the last two seasons due to injury.

Will have tests on hamstring Effross will likely undergo testing after exiting a Grapefruit League appearance Tuesday against the Twins with a hamstring injury, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact Effross lasted only one pitch before grabbing at his hamstring and walking off the field with the trainer. The reliever missed all of the 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery and made just 32 appearances between the majors and minors in 2024 while coming back from back surgery.

Leaves with leg injury Effross was removed from Tuesday's Grapefruit League appearance versus the Twins with an apparent leg injury, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact Effross threw just one pitch in the bottom of the eighth inning before grabbing his hamstring area and walking off the mound with the trainer. The Yankees should have more on the reliever's condition soon.

Settles with New York The Yankees and Effross avoided arbitration by agreeing to a one-year, $800,000 contract Thursday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Impact Effross made just three appearances in the majors in 2024 and none in 2023 due to Tommy John and back surgeries. He's healthy now and will look to regain the form that allowed him to put up a 2.78 ERA and 80:16 K:BB over 71.1 frames from 2021 to 2022.

JANUARY 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to Triple-A Effross was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact Effross logged 1.1 innings Friday and may not have been used Sunday, so he was the roster casualty to make room for Ben Rice.

SEPTEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in big leagues The Yankees recalled Effross from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Impact He'll take the roster and bullpen spot vacated by Mark Leiter, who has been placed on paternity leave. Effross has permitted two runs over two innings during his time with the Yankees this season.

SEPTEMBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Yankees optioned Effross to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday.

Impact Effross tossed 1.1 scoreless innings in Wednesday's loss to the Rangers but finds himself back in the minors a day later. The Yankees will announce a corresponding move prior to Friday's game versus the Cubs, and it could be Ian Hamilton (lat) returning from the injured list.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Receives September call-up The Yankees recalled Effross from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact Effross' next appearance with the Yankees will be his first since Oct. 3, 2022, as he missed the team's playoff run that season due to an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. He likely would have been fully cleared for the start of spring training this year, but he underwent back surgery this past winter that prevented him from beginning a rehab assignment until late June. Once Effross was activated from the 60-day injured list over the All-Star break, the Yankees optioned him to Triple-A, where he's flourished in recent weeks. Dating back to Aug. 1, Effross posted a 1.42 ERA, 0.79 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB in 12.2 innings. He'll likely have to settle for low-leverage work out of the Yankees bullpen initially but could push his way into a more meaningful role if he fares well.

Yankees explain why Scott Effross hasn't been called up from Triple-A yet Yankees reliever Scott Effross has allowed only one earned run in his last eight appearances with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • NJ.COM

Expected back in majors soon Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake said Tuesday that Effross has "thrown the ball really well lately" at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and should be recalled soon, Chris Kirschner...

Impact In addition to allowing just two runs in eight innings this month, Effross' velocity has ticked back up and he's "been bouncing back" from outings well, per Blake. Effross last appeared in the majors in 2022 and has had Tommy John and back surgeries since then. He could provide a big boost to the Yankees' bullpen down the stretch if he can regain the form that allowed him to post a 2.54 ERA and 62:15 K:BB over 56.2 frames for the Cubs and Yankees in 2022.

AUGUST 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned Effross (back) was activated from the 60-day injured list and optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday.

Impact He had a 3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 10 strikeouts in 9.1 innings over eight appearances on his four-week rehab assignment and the Yankees aren't quite ready to add him to the big-league mix. Effross had back surgery in December while recovering from October 2023 Tommy John surgery.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs fifth rehab outing Effross (back) tossed a scoreless inning for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday, allowing one walk and striking out one batter.

Impact The appearance was Effross' fifth in a rehab stint that began June 19. The righty reliever is working his way back from the Tommy John surgery he underwent in October of 2022 as well as back surgery that took place last December. Effross has tallied a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 8:1 K:BB over 6.1 frames in his rehab assignment thus far and is expected to be ready to return to the big-league bullpen after the All-Star break.

Moving close to rehab stint Effross (back) has been throwing to live hitters for several weeks and is getting close to kicking off a minor-league rehab assignment, per MLB.com.

Impact Effross underwent Tommy John surgery in October of 2022 and then had back surgery last December. Yankees manager Aaron Boone recently stated that the righty reliever is responding well to his throwing sessions, and it appears that he could begin a rehab stint soon, though Boone didn't indicate an exact date. When Effross is ready to return to the big club, he'll strengthen a bullpen unit that currently ranks third in the majors in team ERA.

JUNE 15, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Yankees' Scott Effross opens up about 'extremely disappointing' injury setback Yankees reliever Scott Effross injured his back while rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. He's expected to be out until this summer.

FEBRUARY 15, 2024 • NJ.COM

Throwing bullpens Effross (elbow) has been throwing bullpens and hopes to progress to tossing live batting practice in September or October, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Effross is recovering from Tommy John surgery and won't return to the Yankees this season. However, his recent progress and his intention to throw to live hitters in the next month or two suggest that the righty reliever could be ready to go by spring training next year. Effross had elbow surgery last October, so he'll be just over 16 months removed from the procedure when the 2024 spring slate kicks off.

AUGUST 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Starts throwing again Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Effross (elbow) recently began a throwing program, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.

Impact Since Effross is working his way back from October 2022 Tommy John surgery, he'll likely steadily build up his long-toss distance off flat ground for the next several weeks before potentially advancing to mound work by the summer. Even though Effross seems to be making good progress in the early stages of his recovery from surgery, he's still not expected to be an option for the New York bullpen at any point in 2023.

MAY 1, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Moves to 60-day IL The Yankees placed Effross (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

Impact Effross is set to miss the entire 2023 season while recovering from Tommy John surgery, so his placement on the 60-day IL is merely a formality. The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for shortstop Anthony Volpe, whose contract was selected ahead of Thursday's season opener versus the Giants.

What Yankees' Scott Effross is thinking about his Tommy John return timeline Yankees reliever Scott Effross recently is about five months post-Tommy John surgery and recently began a throwing program.

MARCH 21, 2023 • NJ.COM

Starts throwing program Effross (elbow) began a throwing program Monday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.

Impact Effross is at the beginning stages of a long road back from last October's Tommy John surgery. There might be an outside chance he makes it back late in the 2023 season, but the better bet is that he'll be held out until 2024.
