New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone has expressed his support for reliever Scott Effross, who is working to return to the major leagues after overcoming a series of injuries. Effross reported to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as he recuperates from a hamstring injury, having pitched only 3.1 innings this season.

Despite Boone's backing, he has made it clear that Effross must demonstrate consistent health and performance to earn a roster spot. Boone emphasized the importance of Effross 'stacking days' to regain his form. Effross, once a promising pitcher with a 2.66 ERA for the Chicago Cubs, has struggled with injuries since his acquisition by the Yankees during the 2022 season.
