Yankees lefthander Ryan Yarbrough will not make his scheduled start on Monday in the series opener in Cincinnati and has been placed on the 15-day injured list with a right oblique strain.

Righthander Allan Winans will get the ball to face the Reds, manager Aaron Boone said Sunday before the Yankees faced the Orioles in the final contest of their three-game series at the Stadium. It will be Winans’ first big league appearance in pinstripes.

Yarbrough has performed above expectations this season, going 3-1 with a 3.90 ERA in 16 appearances including eight starts. In his past two starts, he pitched six innings each and earned wins over the Dodgers and Angels, but Boone said there has been some discomfort in the oblique.

“My understanding it’s something that's been kind of coming on a little bit in his second to last start, and then a little more sore towards the end of this last start,” Boone said. “After his last start, (he) was pretty sore the next day. And then before he's getting ready to throw his side (session) the other day, (he) felt like couldn't quite do it.”

Boone said imaging revealed a low-grade strain and he added “hopefully (it’s) not something that keeps him down from throwing too long.”

Winans has made eight big league starts – all with Atlanta – and is 1-4 with a 7.20 ERA. The Yankees acquired him off waivers from Atlanta in January and has pitched exceptionally in the minor leagues this season. He is 7-0 for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes Barre and has pitched 50 innings to a 0.90 ERA with 59 strikeouts and a 1.04 WHIP.

“He's been tremendous,” Boone said. “To be this deep in the season as a starting pitcher and have a sub-1 (earned run average) – it’s been really, really excellent. Hopefully (he’ll) bring some of that up here with us tomorrow.”

The 29-year-old was drafted by the Mets in 2018 and played in the organization through the 2021 season before Atlanta snagged him in the Rule 5 draft.

SMALL HED: Righthander Marcus Stroman, the Patchogue-Medford product, will pitch another minor league rehab game on Tuesday and Boone said the hope is built up to 70 pitches “and then be in the mix.” . . . Paul Goldschmidt was out of the starting lineup for a second straight day, but it was not related to a health issue. Boone said he wanted Ben Rice’s lefty bat to face Baltimore righty Dean Kremer. . . . The Yankees recalled left reliever Jayvien Sandridge from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Yarbrough’s spot on the active roster.
