The New York Yankees have bolstered their 40-man roster by claiming outfielder Bryan de la Cruz off waivers from the Braves. He has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. In a related move, Giancarlo Stanton was transferred to the 60-day injured list due to tennis elbow, confirming he won't return before May 23. De la Cruz, a 28-year-old player with a career .251 average and .698 OPS, aims to enhance the Yankees' right-handed hitting, especially against lefties, following a challenging stint with the Braves this season.
