| 4/23/25 | Yankees' bullpen closer to full strength with more reinforcements coming. With the way Tyler Matzek looked this spring, there's a strong chance that the left-hander would've been on the Yankees' Opening Day roster if he didn't get hurt. An oblique strain ruled him out for the start of the regular season, but the praise for the left-hander — and the potential of what he could accomplish with more time within the Yankees' pitching department — didn't stop. Fast forward to Tuesday in Cleveland and Matzek was finally back with the big-league club, the first of several pitching reinforcements that will bolster this elite bullpen over the next few months. “I feel like we're getting another really good pitcher to add to the mix back there,” Boone said before a 3-2 loss to the Guardians.
