The New York Yankees put right-hander Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list Monday because of a strained left oblique and selected righty Geoff Hartlieb from Triple-A.

Two key Yankees have been undergoing medical evaluations in recent days, with reliever Fernando Cruz landing on the injured list with a left oblique strain and catcher Austin Wells undergoing testing after experiencing a circulatory issue in his left index finger.

New York selected the contract of right-handed reliever Geoff Hartlieb, bringing the 30-year-old back to the big leagues for the first time since 2022. To make room, the Yankees placed Fernando Cruz on the 15-day injured list with a left oblique strain.
