As spring training begins, the Yankees continue to adjust their roster, claiming left-handed pitcher Brent Headrick off waivers from the Twins. Headrick, a 2019 ninth-round draft pick, has struggled at the major league level with a 5.97 ERA in limited innings due to injuries. However, he showed promise in the minor leagues last season. The move comes alongside other recent pitching transactions, indicating the Yankees' focus on building pitching depth, though it is uncertain if Headrick will secure a bullpen spot or be used at Triple-A.
"The Yankees have been pretty active in the depth pitching market of late, as Headrick joins fellow lefty Tyler Matzek, who was signed to a minor league deal just on Monday."
"A good spring training could maybe see Headrick make the team as a back end bullpen arm, but it seems more likely that he'll be a 'Scranton Shuttle' option."
