Clayton Beeter Won't Be Ready For Opening Day
1 month agoNew York Yankees right-hander Clayton Beeter (shoulder) will not be ready for Opening Day, according to The Athletic's Chris Kirschner. Additionally, left-hander Tyler Matzek (oblique) could also open the 2025 regular season on the injured list due to an oblique injury. Beeter has been throwing off a mound, but the 26-year-old has yet to appear in a Grapefruit League game and needs more time to recover from a right-shoulder injury. The good news is that it won't take him as much time to get ready now that he's been moved to a full-time relief role with the Yankees. A shoulder injury caused him to miss almost four months last year, too, so it's not a great sign that he's still having issues. Beeter has a career 33.2% strikeout rate, so he could become a key multi-inning reliever for the Yankees in 2025 if he can get past his shoulder problems.
