New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German had to leave Thursday's Triple-A game, and early reports indicate the reason was bicep tendonitis in his arm. The injury hasn't been confirmed, but it's being reported as an initial diagnosis. If confirmed, it'll be a big blow to the Yankees pitching depth, as German has been able to start and pitch out of the pen this year. German has good stuff (95 strikeouts), but has not been a great run stopper (5.68 ERA) this season. His fantasy value will now remain in limbo due to his injury as well as his chances of returning to the majors.

After Friday night's disappointing performance in defeat to the New York Mets, New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The New York Yankees will not continue with just four pitchers, as Luis Cessa is set to take his spot in the starting rotation. Cessa is likely to be just a temporary replacement, however, as the club searches for a starting pitcher in the trade market. They do, have an option from within their minor league system, and that would be Justus Sheffield. The 22-year-old has made 10 starts at Triple-A this season, striking out 56 batters in 57 innings and posting a 2.53 ERA in the process. After his next scheduled start Saturday, he seems the best option in the system to fill the final rotation spot.

German (2-6) was roughed up for four runs on five hits and two walks while striking out three across 3.2 innings as he took the loss against the Mets. He was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Friday's tilt, Marc Carig of The Athletic New York reports.

Coming out of the All-Star break, the New York Yankees' need for another starting pitcher was only exacerbated on Friday night. Domingo German, the number five pitcher of the rotation, lasted only 3 2/3 innings, surrendering four runs on five hits with two walks and a strikeout. His disappointing outing was sealed with a solo home run allowed in the third. German's first-inning woes continue to be a huge problem, as he's now allowed 14 runs and 15 hits in 13 first innings this year. The Yankees simply can't afford to continue having performances like these if they're going to remain in the division race against the Boston Red Sox.

One key part of the game continues to be the weakness of New York Yankees starter Domingo German. The 25-year-old allowed four runs in the first two innings of Friday's game against the Indians, setting up yet another loss. German's problems early in the game have been deadly, as he now sports a 7.20 ERA in the first two innings of his starts. He would go on to allow two more runs, walking four and striking out six en route to his fifth loss of the season to just two wins. The Dominican native continues to be significantly inconstant, having posted a quality start between two four-inning outings this month.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German held the Toronto Blue Jays to just one run in six innings on Sunday. The Yanks ended up winning in extra innings, 2-1. German has pitched relatively well in his tenure as a starter since being moved to the rotation. His ERA does stand at an ugly 5.06, but he's shown signs of turning it around his last three games. He also sports an impressive 86 strikeouts in 74 1/5 innings. German carries filthy stuff so it makes him an intriguing spot-start option for fantasy players. That said, players should tread lightly going forward, because his next start is against Francisco Lindor and the Cleveland Indians.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German's rollercoaster season with the Yankees suffered another bump on Tuesday against the National League East-leading Atlanta Braves. The 25-year-old appeared on his way to an easy win as his club jumped ahead to a six-run lead. After stranding one runner in each of his first four innings, however, things fell apart in the fifth, as he allowed three runs and was pulled before the game became official. As a result, he wound up making a third consecutive appearance without a win. German has had consistency issues that have resulted in his 5.37 ERA this season.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German fell apart on Sunday giving up six runs on nine hits through three innings against the Rays raising his season ERA to 5.40. It was a very disappointing start for German who had been killing it recently with back to back quality starts and 19 strikeouts in his last 13 innings. He was only able to muster two strikeouts in this outing and had the worst start of his career thus far against a pretty bad Tampa Bay lineup. German has gone through stretches of being elite and being unstartable this season and is set to take on the Red Sox next Sunday night. German has a lot of upside, but it might not be the best move to start him against one of the hottest offenses in baseball.

German (2-4) earned the win against the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits across seven innings. He walked none and recorded nine strikeouts.

After losing his first four decisions in his first season as a starter in the major leagues, New York Yankees right-hander Domingo German appears to have turned a new page following another dominant performance. The 26-year-old went seven innings on Tuesday night, allowing just two runs on two hits while walking none and striking out nine. It was his third consecutive start with at least nine strikeouts and his second consecutive game of at least nine strikeouts and no more than two hits. Since May, only German and Chris Sale have pulled off such a feat twice. The victory moved his record to 2-4 on the season, while his pitching has seemingly kept his spot in the rotation safe for now, as the Yankees continue to try and acquire a pitcher via trade.

German (1-4) struck out 10 batters in six innings of works, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks in a 4-3 win over Tampa Bay on Thursday.

At long last, New York Yankees starter Domingo German recorded the first victory of his major league career on Thursday night, edging out the Tampa Bay Rays. The 25-year-old had his best start since his six no-hit innings against the Indians over a month ago. German went six innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks. He struck out a career-high 10 batters along the way. While he was solid on the mound, his offense managed four runs, just barely edging out the Tampa Bay Rays to retain their position of first place in the American League East.

Seeking a sweep of the doubleheader against the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, the New York Yankees sent out Domingo German, who was seeking his first victory of the year. The 25-year-old certainly didn't pitch bad, but he wasn't great either. German tossed 6 2/3 innings, allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks. He also struck out three in the 95-pitch performance, which was affected by him pitching the seventh. Through six, he'd held the Tigers to three runs, completing a quality start. In the seventh, however, he surrendered one more run, a decisive blow. Regardless, the Yankees only mustered two home runs, losing 4-2.

From the outset of Monday's Memorial Day matchup between the Houston Astros and New York Yankees in the Bronx, chances were the starting pitching would overwhelmingly favor the road team. After all, the Astros sent Justin Verlander to the mound, while the Yankees had substitute starter Domingo German. The 25-year-old, who had one of his best performances against the Astros earlier this month, allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks across 5 2/3 innings of work. He struck out seven, also allowing an unearned run due to an error. The Dominican's record fell to 0-3 on the season while his ERA now stands at 5.45. His next start is scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Baltimore.

German (0-2) gave up six runs on four hits in Tuesday's loss to the Rangers, recording six strikeouts and three walks in 3.2 innings.

For the second consecutive time after his masterful first career start, New York Yankees pitcher Domingo German was rocked, this time by the Texas Rangers in what would be a defeat. The 25-year-old lasted just 3 2/3 innings, surrendering six runs on four hits and three walks. He would strike out six, taking another loss that moved his record to 0-2, with an ERA of 5.59. The start came 10 days after his last start as a result of rainouts and off days, perhaps playing a factor in his lack of form. German's misfortunes were evident from the start, as he allowed three runs in the first inning, followed by two in the second. After one more in the third, manager Aaron Boone removed him from the game.

Getting called into action significantly ahead of time on Tuesday night at Minute Maid Park, New York Yankees pitcher Domingo German answered the call in a more than serviceable manner. The 25-year-old Dominican entered in the second inning of the game after Jordan Montgomery's elbow injury. German went a season-long four innings, allowing four hits and a walk, but no runs to go with four strikeouts. With the offense having their hands full once again against Justin Verlander, German led the Yankees bullpen in a masterful performance, not conceding a single run. After the game, manager Aaron Boone announced German would likely get Montgomery's start on Sunday when the Yankees take on the Cleveland Indians.

Young New York Yankees Dominican pitcher Domingo German is pitching his way into the conversation to start for the team this upcoming season. While Masahiro Tanaka, Luis Severino, Sonny Gray, CC Sabathia and Jordan Montgomery are the clear five starters for the club at this point, the 25-year-old has made three appearances this spring, allowing just one earned run in 7 2/3 innings of work. Coming off a season in the minor leagues that saw him post a 2.88 ERA with an 8-6 record between Double-A and Triple-A, he's further making his case for a role in the majors. He made seven appearances for the major league club last season, posting a 3.14 ERA and striking out 18 in 11 innings.
