No matter how you look at it, suddenly dropping two pitchers to injury and long-term recovery will will be a serious factor on the Yankees' continued success.
Chad Green injury: what this means going forward
The Yankees' loss of Chad Green for the season is a significant blow. Green has been one of the most reliable pitchers for the team over the past five seasons. Green's best year came back in 2017 when he posted an ERA of 1.83.
The Yankees will either look to someone already on the roster to step up during Green's absence or potentially trade for a bullpen arm. Several relievers will be on the market at the trade deadline, and the Yankees will likely look to acquire a few arms given the recent injury news. Go to the Sportskeeda Baseball page for more.
