Could require surgery Britton could required surgery on his sprained left elbow, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Impact Elbow issues are always worrisome for pitchers, and it appears as though Britton's may indeed be a bad one. He's already undergone one elbow surgery this season, as he had bone chips removed from his elbow in March. The Yankees are still gathering additional opinions, but there's a very real chance Britton is done for the rest of the season and potentially next year as well.

Another setback for Yankees LHP Britton, back on IL (elbow)

New York Yankees reliever Zack Britton has sustained another injury setback, going on the 10-day injured list with a strained left elbow

Yankees put reliever Zack Britton on IL with elbow sprain The Yankees may be rolling, but the hits keep on coming.

AUGUST 23, 2021 • MCALL.COM

Out with elbow sprain Britton landed on the 10-day injured list with a sprained left elbow Monday.

Impact Britton hasn't been close to his usual self this season, struggling to a 5.89 ERA, 1.69 WHIP and 16:14 K:BB in 18.1 innings after missing the early part of the year due to surgery to remove bone chips from his elbow. Evidently, his elbow still isn't right, though whether that's the explanation for all of his struggles or if the sprain only popped up recently is unclear. The move was backdated to Friday, so Britton will be eligible to return next Monday, but that will only be in play if it's a particularly mild sprain.

Requests out of closer role Britton told Yankees manager Aaron Boone following his blown save Thursday against the White Sox that he doesn't "deserve" to pitch in the ninth inning for now, Erik Boland of News...

Impact The veteran had been incredibly reliable for the Yankees since joining the team in 2018, but he has struggled greatly this year, posting a 6.19 ERA and 1.81 WHIP through 19 outings. Thursday's blown save was his second across three appearances, which prompted Britton to approach his manager about taking a step back from closer duties in the absence of Aroldis Chapman (elbow). The Yankees did go to Britton in a save situation in the 10th frame Saturday, but the move was almost out of necessity after Jonathan Loaisiga pitched earlier in the contest and Chad Green blew a save chance in the ninth. Britton picked up a hold against the White Sox, but he threw only four of 14 pitches for strikes, walking two batters and giving up one hit while notching only one out. Loaisiga and Green should be considered the favorites for save opportunities in the short term, but the Yankees are hopeful that Chapman has avoided a serious injury, and he could be back as the team's unquestioned closer this week.
