Yankees Promote Infield Prospect Jorbit Vivas Amid Lineup Struggles
Jorbit Vivas, acquired in an offseason trade, joins the team as J.D. Davis goes on the injured list.
- Vivas, 23, is the Yankees' 15th-ranked prospect, known for his strong left-handed batting.
- He was acquired from the Dodgers alongside Victor González in exchange for Trey Sweeney.
- Vivas has shown versatility, playing both second and third base in the minors.
- He has recently excelled at Triple-A, hitting .333 with a 1.113 OPS over his last 19 games.
- The Yankees hope Vivas can provide a boost as Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu continue to struggle.
