The Yankees placed reliever Mark Leiter Jr. on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to July 7, with a stress fracture in his left leg.
The reliever said he sustained the injury covering first base during the Yankees’ 5-4 extra-inning loss in Cincinnati on June 24.
There is no timetable for his return.
Entering Tuesday, the Yankees are in the midst of a stretch in which they’ve lost 16 of 23 games and have exposed a litany of issues plaguing the roster — one of them being the bullpen.
Mark Leiter Jr. #56 of the New York Yankees reacts after getting Juan Soto #22 of the New York Mets to hit into a double play in the seventh inning at Citi Field, Sunday, July 6, 2025. Corey Sipkin for the NY POSTSince June 14, the Yankees have had the fifth-least valuable bullpen, per FanGraphs, and accrued the sixth-worst ERA in that span (5.19).
Leiter, acquired to bolster the pen at last year’s trade deadline, won’t be able to repeat the feat, at least not for a while.
He sports a 4-6 record with two saves, a 4.46 ERA and 1.57 WHIP.
