  • The Yankees are exploring how to utilize Yarbrough, who has experience as both a starter and long reliever, following significant injuries to key pitchers like Gerrit Cole and Chase Hampton.
  • Yarbrough is set to pitch in the Yankees' final exhibition game against the Miami Marlins on March 25 as the team assesses his fit in their rotation or bullpen.
