New York Yankees player injury updates

Overview

The New York Yankees have dealt with multiple roster changes due to player injuries in late August and early September 2026.

On August 20, third baseman Ryan McMahon was placed on the 10-day injured list following a Grade 2 left thumb sprain sustained during a game against the Baltimore Orioles. The team recalled Max Schuemann from Triple-A to fill the vacancy.

On August 22, starting pitcher Ryan Weathers was placed on the 15-day injured list after experiencing discomfort in his left forearm during a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. The injury was identified as a left forearm flexor strain, though imaging showed no structural damage to his elbow or ulnar collateral ligament. Manager Aaron Boone stated Weathers would not throw for two to four weeks. Brendan Beck was called up to the roster to address the vacancy. These injuries occur alongside existing pitching concerns, including Max Fried, who was placed on the injured list with a left elbow bone bruise.

On September 1, the Yankees reinstated Ryan McMahon from the 10-day injured list. His return coincides with Major League Baseball roster expansion, which allows teams to increase their active rosters from 26 to 28 players. Additionally, the Yankees added right-handed reliever John Schreiber to the active roster after selecting him off waivers from Kansas City.
