Overview
- The deal, recorded on MLB’s transactions log, follows Tampa Bay designating Gerber for assignment as it cleared 40-man roster space.
- Gerber has appeared in 19 MLB games, including two outings for the Rays in 2025 after debuting with the Mariners in 2020.
- He spent most of 2025 at Triple-A Durham, posting a 6.23 ERA with 54 strikeouts across 43 1/3 innings.
- His career has been interrupted by significant injuries, including back surgery and Tommy John surgery in mid-2022.
- New York framed the move as low-risk bullpen depth on a day it also confirmed other relief moves, including picking up Brooks Raley’s option and declining Drew Smith’s.
