Yankees Place Jake Cousins on 15-Day IL, Promote Clayton Beeter

Cousins' pec strain ends his regular season, but he may return for playoffs depending on recovery.

Jake Cousins was placed on the 15-day injured list with a right pec strain, retroactive to September 20.
The Yankees recalled rookie reliever Clayton Beeter from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Cousins' spot.
Cousins has a 2.37 ERA with 53 strikeouts and 20 walks over 38 innings in his first season with the Yankees.
Cousins' injury could see him return for the playoffs if the Yankees advance and his recovery progresses well.
Manager Aaron Boone is optimistic about Cousins' quick return, with a doctor's visit scheduled for Monday.
