Yankees' Jake Cousins: May have UCL damage
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Wednesday that Cousins (forearm) appears to be dealing with a UCL injury, but the right-hander will receive further medical opinions before the diagnosis is confirmed, Jackson Stone of MLB.com reports.
Cousins was dealing with a right forearm strain upon reporting to spring training and opened the season on the injured list, and his rehab process was extended further in May, when he suffered a pectoral injury. He made enough progress with his throwing program to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment earlier this month, but he made just two appearances before experiencing his second setback of the season. If Cousins is in fact dealing with ligament damage in his elbow, his return would likely be pushed back until after the All-Star break if he elects to treat the injury with rest and rehab. Season-ending Tommy John surgery would also be a potential outcome.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Rehab paused
The Yankees paused Cousins' (forearm/pectoral) rehab assignment Tuesday due to an elbow issue, Erik Boland of Newsday reports.
The team is still waiting for the results of an MRI that Cousins received Tuesday, but there's a chance he may need to spend some more time on the injured list. The 30-year-old reliever has been on the shelf all year due to a forearm strain followed by a pectoral injury, though he was cleared to begin playing in minor-league games last week.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Set for rehab assignment
Cousins (forearm/pectoral) is expected to begin a rehab assignment Tuesday, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Cousins has been on the shelf for the entirety of the 2025 season after suffering a forearm strain in February. The right-hander was on the cusp of returning to action in mid-May, but he sustained a pectoral injury, which slowed his progress. Considering the amount of time Cousins has missed, he'll likely require a handful of appearances on his rehab assignment, and it's currently unclear what level of the Yankees' minor-league system he'll report to.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Resumes throwing
Cousins (forearm/pectoral) threw a side session of approximately 30 pitches Saturday, MLB.com reports.
Cousins was temporarily shut down from throwing in mid-May due to a pectoral injury, but the righty reliever has since been able to return to his throwing progression. He's been on the injured list all season due to a right forearm strain, and he's expected to be ready to join the Yankees bullpen sometime in June if he doesn't have any additional setbacks.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Managing pec injury
Manager Aaron Boone said Saturday that Cousins (forearm) has been shut down for a few days due to a pectoral injury, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Boone added that Cousins' latest injury isn't anything too serious, so the team seems to just be sitting him down as a precaution. The 30-year-old reliever has been working his way back from a right forearm strain since the start of the season and should still be able to make it back to the Yankees' bullpen in June, assuming his pec injury doesn't evolve into anything severe.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Eyeing June return
Cousins (forearm) said May 6 that he's hopeful to return from the 60-day injured list in early-to-mid June, MLB.com reports.
Cousins is eligible for activation May 26, but he looks like he'll need another week or two beyond that before making his 2025 debut with the Yankees. The 30-year-old reliever is on the mend from a right forearm strain but took a major step forward in the recovery process earlier this month, when he faced hitters in live batting practice. He could soon be ready to head out on a minor-league rehab assignment.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Targeting early-to-mid June
Cousins (elbow) is targeting a return in early-to-mid June, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
Cousins will throw another bullpen session Friday and is about two weeks away from facing hitters. He'll need a rehab assignment at some point after that. The reliever is recovering from a right elbow flexor strain.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Throwing off mound
Cousins (elbow) has begun throwing off a mound, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Cousins has been nursing a right elbow flexor strain since February, but he recently received the green light to begin throwing bullpen sessions again. Assuming he doesn't experience any setbacks, the plan is for him to graduate to throwing live batting practice in a few weeks before beginning a rehab assignment in the minors. The 30-year-old righty will be eligible for activation from the 60-day IL in late May

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Lands on 60-day IL
The Yankees placed Cousins (forearm) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.
A forearm strain prevented Cousins from seeing any action in the Grapefruit League this spring, and the Yankees' decision to immediately send him to the 60-day IL indicates that he isn't anywhere close to making his season debut. The right-hander won't be eligible to play until late May; meanwhile, camp standout Pablo Reyes will fill the vacancy on the active roster.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Throwing out to 90 feet
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Monday that Cousins (forearm) has extended his throwing distance off flat ground to 90 feet, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Cousins has yet to pitch in a game this spring while recovering from a right forearm strain, and since he's not yet throwing off a mound, he seems unlikely to make an appearance before the Yankees' Grapefruit League slate comes to a close. As a one-inning reliever, Cousins won't require much ramp-up time once he's deemed ready to face hitters, but he's still ticketed for a stint on the injured list to begin the season.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Set to resume throwing Monday
Cousins (forearm) will resume a throwing program Monday, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Cousins reported to camp earlier this month with a right forearm strain but got his arm re-imaged recently and the results were "really good," the pitcher said Wednesday, adding that he's "ready to go." The reliever will have been shut down for nearly five weeks and will not be ready for Opening Day, but the hope is he will not have to miss much time.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Nursing forearm strain
Cousins is currently shut down due to a right forearm strain, Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reports.
It's possible the reliever will be ready to resume a throwing program next week or the following week, per Yankees manager Aaron Boone. However, the injury has Cousins' availability for Opening Day in question. Cousins was excellent in 37 regular-season appearances for the Yankees last season, holding a 2.37 ERA and 53:20 K:BB across 38 innings. If healthy, he could see some high-leverage relief work.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Activated off IL for ALDS
Cousins (pectoral) was activated off the 15-day injured list Saturday ahead of Game 1 of the American League Division Series versus Kansas City, per MLB's transaction log.
Cousins finished the regular season on the injured list due to a pectoral strain but was able to toss a series of bullpen sessions ahead of the playoffs. The right-hander was able to prove his health and will serve as a relief option for New York against the Royals. Cousins has posted a 2.37 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 53:20 K:BB while logging eight holds and one save over 38 innings this season.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Expected to be ready for ALDS
Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Cousins (pectoral) is on track to be ready for the ALDS, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.
Cousins will throw another bullpen session Wednesday, which should be the last hurdle he needs to clear before being included on the ALDS roster. The right-handed reliever hasn't pitched in a game in nearly two weeks because of a right pectoral strain.

Cousins (pectoral) will throw a bullpen session Tuesday and likely face live hitters Thursday, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

Yankees' Jake Cousins: Resumes throwing
Cousins (pectoral) played catch Friday, Max Goodman of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
It's the first time Cousins has done any throwing since he landed on the 15-day injured list with a right pectoral strain nearly a week ago. The hope is that he can be ready to pitch for the Yankees at some point during the playoffs.
