Jake Cousins's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

New York Yankees right-handed reliever Jake Cousins (pectoral) has been included on the team's postseason roster for the American League Division Series against the Kansas City Royals. Cousins hasn't pitched for the Yankees since Sept. 19 due to a strained right pectoral muscle, but he was able to throw a bullpen session on Wednesday and is feeling better. The 30-year-old will join a bullpen that includes Luke Weaver, Clay Holmes, Tommy Kahnle, Ian Hamilton, Tim Hill and Tim Mayza. In his first year in the Bronx after spending his first three years in the big leagues with the Milwaukee Brewers, Cousins has posted a career-best 2.37 ERA (4.06 FIP), a 1.05 WHIP, his first career save, a career-high 53 strikeouts and 20 walks in his 38 innings out of the bullpen. The Yankees notably left veteran right-hander Marcus Stroman off the ALDS roster.
