TAMPA, Fla. — Yankees reliever Scott Effross has a grade two left hamstring strain, according to Yankees manager Aaron Boone, New York media reported. Effross, a 31-year-old right-hander, left his second spring training appearance after just one pitch Tuesday against Minnesota. He had a platelet-rich plasma injection on Thursday, Boone said, adding that Effross is "going to take some time" to return. Acquired from the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 1, 2022, Effross had a 2.13 ERA in 12 2/3 innings over 13 appearances for the Yankees that season, then had Tommy John surgery on Oct. 13 of that year.
