"Hartlieb, 31, selected by the Yankees, has shown strong performance in Triple-A with a 3.34 ERA and increased strikeout rate compared to his major league stats."
"Cruz, suffering from a left oblique strain, has been exceptional for the Yankees with a 3.00 ERA and a remarkable 41.2% strikeout rate, indicating his dominance."
The New York Yankees selected the contract of reliever Geoff Hartlieb while placing Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain. Hartlieb is a seasoned right-hander, now on his fifth major league team, with mixed success in the big leagues but excelling in Triple-A with a 3.34 ERA and a 26.2% strikeout rate this season. Cruz, who joined the Yankees from the Reds, has performed exceptionally well with a 3.00 ERA and a 41.2% strikeout rate, making his injury a significant loss for the bullpen.
