Jake Cousins Injury: Lands on 60-day IL

The Yankees placed Cousins (elbow) on the 60-day injured list Thursday.

A right elbow flexor strain prevented Cousins from seeing any action in the Grapefruit League this spring, and the Yankees' decision to immediately send him to the 60-day IL indicates that he isn't close to making his season debut. The right-hander won't be eligible to return from the IL until late May.
