Scott Effross of the New York Yankees has battled back from numerous injuries. He has overcome several back surgeries and most recently Tommy John surgery. He came into this spring with high hopes. The hopes faded away temporarily Tuesday afternoon as he exited the game against the Minnesota Twins after only throwing one pitch in the eighth inning at Hammond Stadium in Fort Myers.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Scott Effross just cannot squash the injury bug. The 31-year-old right-hander came in relief to start the bottom of the 8th inning during the Yankees’ spring training game against the Minnesota Twins.

The New York Yankees’ recent spring training game brought with it some bad injury news. The team, already dealing with multiple physical ailments throughout the roster, will lose a potential bounce-back candidate in the bullpen for some time.
