Rotation Depth Crisis: Miller and Wilcox Oblique Injuries

Rotation Depth Crisis: Miller and Wilcox Oblique Injuries

Bryce Miller left his Aug 6 start with an oblique issue, a major concern for the rotation. Additionally, Cole Wilcox was placed on the IL with an oblique strain, and reliever Nick Davila was recalled. The oblique epidemic threatens rotation depth behind Logan Gilbert, Bryan Woo, and George Kirby. Kade Anderson is being groomed as a potential rotation addition but is not yet ready for a reliever role. The upcoming Yankees series will be without Judge, Stanton, and Rodon, which could help the pitching staff.
