After turning heads in spring training with a 102 MPH fastball, the 23-year-old made a case to be on the Yankees\u2019 Opening Day roster. However, the Yankees elected to keep him in Triple-A.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this early success, Lagrange struggled in the first two months of the season, allowing 23 earned runs in 45 innings. So, with the Dominican struggling and the Yankees\u2019 starting rotation proving to be a strength, Lagrange was moved to the bullpen.<\/p>\n<p>Immediately, he saw success. In his first six relief appearances, Lagrange allowed three earned runs in 13 1\/3 innings. However, in his next appearance, he allowed five earned runs on four hits, recording two outs in the process.<\/p>\n<h3>Nothing New<\/h3>\n<p><a id=\"2oMp10OfSLlX2rFrcMa33w\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/2268376867\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'2oMp10OfSLlX2rFrcMa33w',sig:'pYjDP3lpaJjFoRJf1JNnBYbNynq2-2c2i0fPio86zfY=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2268376867',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, the Yankees have weathered numerous pitching injuries this season.<\/p>\n<p>Before the season, Rodon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/c\/colege01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-07-04_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gerrit Cole<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/players\/s\/schmicl01.shtml?utm_medium=linker&amp;utm_source=sportrelay.com&amp;utm_campaign=2026-07-04_br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Clarke Schmidt<\/a> each found themselves on the IL.
