The New York Yankees have severed ties with a 25-year-old depth pitcher after he sustained a significant injury, according to a Forbes report published Thursday. The transaction marks the end of the right-hander's tenure with the organization, though specific details regarding the nature of the injury and the exact mechanism of his departure — whether by release, designation for assignment, or another roster move — were not immediately disclosed.
The pitcher had been serving in a depth role for the club, providing organizational insurance at the major-league level. His removal from the roster opens a spot on the 40-man as the Yankees continue to navigate pitching staff management heading into the offseason.
