Yankees Sign Ryan Yarbrough to Bolster Injury-Depleted Pitching Staff

The veteran left-hander joins New York on a one-year, $2 million deal and will pitch in their final exhibition game as the team evaluates his role.

Ryan Yarbrough signed a one-year contract with the Yankees worth $2 million, with an additional $250,000 in performance bonuses.
The Yankees placed right-hander Luis Gil on the 60-day injured list to make room for Yarbrough on the 40-man roster.
Yarbrough, known for his low-velocity and deceptive pitching style, opted out of his minor league deal with the Blue Jays after being informed he wouldn't make their Opening Day roster.
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.
