Fernando Cruz of the New York Yankees has struggled recently and was placed on the 15-day injured list due to right elbow discomfort. After a disappointing August, where he posted a 6.75 ERA and allowed four home runs, this injury may explain his decline from a strong first half with a 2.73 ERA. The Yankees face a challenging schedule ahead, and Cruz’s usage this season raises questions about his workload. The team will now monitor his recovery and effectiveness upon return.
