Overview
- Carlos Carrasco, a 16-year MLB veteran, was designated for assignment after posting a 5.91 ERA across eight games, including six starts, this season.
- The Yankees called up right-hander Yerry de los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to fill Carrasco's roster spot.
- Manager Aaron Boone is considering Ryan Yarbrough and Triple-A prospect Allan Winans as potential options to fill the rotation void left by Carrasco.
- DJ LeMahieu's rehab assignment has progressed to Triple-A, while reliever Scott Effross has begun his rehab stint in the Florida Complex League.
- The Yankees' rotation, once projected as a strength, has been undermined by injuries to key starters, including Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt.
