Domingo Germán is one of those players who defies explanation. In one moment, he can look excellent, but in the next, he looks like a position player pitching for the first time. It’s completely maddening, if still entertaining.
Since coming back from the injured list, Germán has pitched fairly well — to at least the mild surprise of most Yankees fans. After a rocky reintroduction on July 21st in Houston, he has been quite reliable since then in 11 games (10 starts), posting a 2.72 ERA, 4.02 FIP, and a 1.06 WHIP across 59.2 innings of work, never allowing more than three runs in any outing.
