The Yankees placed Domingo German on the restricted list on Wednesday after he agreed to voluntarily submit to inpatient treatment for alcohol abuse, the team said in a statement.

“It is critical that Domingo completely focuses on addressing his health and well-being,” the Yankees said in the statement. “We will respect his privacy as he begins this process.”

The right-hander last pitched Monday, throwing five shutout innings in relief after initially being scratched from his start for what the Yankees said was armpit discomfort.
