The move corresponds with Alexander Cornielle being promoted from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre ahead of the second game of Friday's doubleheader against the Orioles. There's a chance Cruz returns to action if the Yankees make it to the World Series, though it's more likely that the right-hander is shelved for the rest of the 2026 season due to a partial UCL tear in his right elbow.

The transaction frees a spot on the 40-man roster for the addition of Michael Fulmer, who signed a one-year contract. Castro hit the shelf in mid-August due to right elbow neuritis, and Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports that the 27-year-old is scheduled to meet with Dr. Keith Meister in the near future to determine whether surgery is necessary to address the injury. Even if Castro is able to avoid a procedure, his move to the 60-day IL officially ends his season.

Schmidt landed on the injured list shortly before the regular season ended due to right bicep neuritis, and rather than trying to get him ready to contribute to the team's postseason run, the Yankees have decided to focus on getting him fully healthy for 2027. The 30-year-old righty will be entering his final year of arbitration eligibility this winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is injured on New York Yankees?

The Injuries tab shows all New York Yankees players currently on the injured list (10-Day IL, 15-Day IL, 60-Day IL) or listed as day-to-day. Each entry includes the injury type, status, and date — updated daily from official MLB sources.

What is the difference between IL stints in MLB?

The 10-Day IL is for short-term injuries (minimum 10 days missed). The 15-Day IL applies to pitchers and longer recovery times. The 60-Day IL is for season-threatening injuries — players on the 60-Day IL do not count against the 40-man roster, freeing a spot for a replacement.

How do injuries affect MLB DFS and betting?

Key injuries directly impact team totals, run lines, and DFS value. A missing ace pitcher lowers the team's implied run prevention; a missing cleanup hitter reduces the team total. For DFS, injuries create value for replacement players who slot into the starting lineup at lower ownership and salary.
