New York Post | Greg Joyce: One of the big surprises in the ALDS roster announcement was the impending Tommy John surgery for reliever Scott Effross. The Yankees’ deadline acquisition felt something wrong while throwing a bullpen in the leadup to the ALDS, making a depleted Yankee bullpen even more shaky — not to mention affecting next year’s relief corps as well.
FanGraphs | Esteban Rivera: The Yankee bullpen isn’t as formidable as it was in the first half of the season, and the Effross news only furthers that, but it still may play an outsized role in the ALDS.
