The Yankees have signed RHP Yerry Rodriguez to a two-year Minor League contract according to MLB Trade Rumors, taking a flier on a hard-throwing reliever who is recovering from Tommy John Surgery.

He’s expected to return in the middle of the 2026 season, but in his MLB career has pitched to an 8.17 ERA in 30 appearances, serving mainly as a bullpen piece.

Rodriguez pitches most recently for the Rangers and Blue Jays in 2024 before the UCL tear in Spring Training when he was with the Pirates.
