Fernando Cruz Transferred to 60-Day IL, Ruled Out for Postseason

New York Yankees relief pitcher Fernando Cruz has been transferred to the 60-day injured list, ruling him out for the entire postseason as he attempts to recover from a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament. Despite the diagnosis, the 36-year-old journeyman has strongly rejected the partial tear classification, stating he is not accepting surgery. The Yankees moved Cruz to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man roster spot for Alexander Cornielle ahead of Friday's doubleheader.
