Latest news
Cousins (elbow) began a rehab assignment with Triple-A Oklahoma City on Wednesday, striking out one and issuing one walk in a scoreless frame.
It's the first appearance for Cousins since he underwent Tommy John surgery in June 2025. He averaged 94.3 mph with his four-seamer in the outing, which is down only slightly from his pre-surgery velocity. Cousins has had difficulty staying healthy in his career, but he boasts a 2.78 ERA and 32.6 percent strikeout rate over parts of four seasons, so he could provide a boost to the Dodgers' bullpen down the stretch after he makes a few more rehab appearances.

Cousins (elbow) faced live hitters Saturday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
Cousins is in the final stages of his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent last June. The veteran reliever was signed by the Dodgers in late March. Cousins' ability to face live hitters is a sign of progress, but he'll presumably need to log multiple rehab appearances before he's ready to make his Dodgers debut. It's not out of the question that he could be activated before the end of the regular season.

The Dodgers transferred Cousins (elbow) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Wednesday, Fabian Ardaya of The Athletic reports.
The transaction clears a spot on the 40-man roster for righty Jake Eder, who was acquired from the Nationals on Wednesday. Cousins is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will be sidelined until after the All-Star break.

The Dodgers signed Cousins (elbow) to a one-year contract Tuesday.
Cousins is recovering from Tommy John surgery and will be sidelined until after the All-Star break. He should eventually be placed on the 60-day injured list but could contribute in the Dodgers bullpen in the second half. The 31-year-old posted a 2.37 ERA and 53:20 K:BB over 38 innings with the Yankees in 2024.

The Yankees non-tendered Cousins (elbow) on Friday, making him a free agent.
The 31-year-old underwent Tommy John surgery in June, so it's not a major surprise the Yankees aren't tendering him a contract for 2026. Cousins didn't pitch last season due to the arm issues but was effective across 37 regular-season appearances for New York in 2024 with a 2.37 ERA and 53:20 K:BB over 38 innings.

Cousins announced on his personal Instagram account that he underwent Tommy John surgery Wednesday.
Cousins had been dealing with injuries to his throwing arm since spring and wasn't able to pitch in any games this season. If all goes well in his recovery from surgery, he could be ready to return to game action sometime during the summer of 2026.
