Overview

• The team announced Monday that catcher J.C. Escarra was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after a brief stint that included one RBI in one at-bat.
• Amed Rosario is expected to be activated from the 10-day injured list before Tuesday's series opener at Tampa Bay, according to multiple reports.
• Rosario went on the IL with a left sternoclavicular joint sprain after crashing into the right-field wall on August 8, shortly after starting his Yankees tenure 3-for-7.
• Acquired from the Nationals at the deadline to add right-handed versatility, Rosario has excelled against left-handed pitching this season and can cover the infield and corner outfield.
• With Ben Rice emerging and Austin Wells in place, the Yankees opted against carrying a third catcher as they prioritize matchup flexibility for upcoming series against the Rays and Red Sox.
