SEATTLE — The New York Yankees’ pitching reserves became deeper Tuesday.
They signed righty Anthony DeSclafani to a minor-league deal and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
DeSclafani didn’t pitch in the majors last year due to right flexor tendon surgery. He spent all season on the injured list with the Minnesota Twins.

DeSclafani, 35, has pitched parts of nine seasons in the majors. He has a 4.20 ERA over 180 games (169 starts). In 2023, he made 18 starts (19 games) with the San Francisco Giants, posting a 4.88 ERA.
DeSclafani didn’t pitch this spring. It’s unclear how long it’ll be until the New Jersey native can pitch.
He had his best season in 2021, when he went 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA in 31 starts for the Giants. In January 2024, the Giants traded DeSclafani, Mitch Haniger and cash to the Seattle Mariners for starting pitcher Robbie Ray. Three weeks later, the Mariners traded DeSclafani, Justin Topa, Gabriel González, Darren Brown and cash to the Twins in exchange for Jorge Polanco.
The Yankees could use the depth. Luis Gil (lat strain) likely won’t be ready until July. Gerrit Cole (Tommy John surgery) won’t pitch this season. They just designated veteran Carlos Carrasco for assignment, though he accepted being outrighted to Triple A. Lefty Ryan Yarbrough has seemingly jumped into the back end of the rotation, behind Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Will Warren and Clarke Schmidt.
The Yankees made other roster moves Tuesday. They put Oswaldo Cabrera on the 10-day injured list with a fractured left ankle and activated DJ LeMahieu, who had been out all season with a calf strain. Cabrera suffered the injury trying to score on a sacrifice fly in Monday night’s win over the Mariners at T-Mobile Park and was taken off the field via ambulance.

Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi placed in coma after slamming into post in draw with Leicester
Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi was placed in a medically induced coma after undergoing an abdominal surgery following an incident where he collided with the goalpost during the team’s 2-2 draw with Leicester on Sunday, according to the BBC.The 27-year-old slammed into the post in the 88th minute of the match at the City Ground on Sunday while trying to make a play on a cross. Awoniyi and Leicester’s Facundo Buonanotte collided with the post — Awoniyi’s stomach drilled the post directly — but they both made it back up to their feet.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhile Awoniyi and Buonanotte finished out the match, Awoniyi later doubled over in pain and struggled to move in the final minutes. It actually appeared to spark a heated confrontation between owner Evangelos Marinakis and manager Nuno Espirito Santo on the field, too, though Forest has tried to dismiss […]

Diniz aponta problema ‘anímico’ como um dos erros do Vasco, após derrota na Sul-Americana
A estreia de Fernando Diniz no comando do time do Vasco da Gama nesta terça-feira, não ocorreu como o esperado para o treinador. A equipe perdeu o quarto jogo seguido, dessa vez para o Lanús, pela Sul-Americana, em Buenos Aires, por 1 a 0. Com apenas um treino antes do jogo, o treinador apontou que a questão do ânimo da equipe em campo foi um dos problemas para o nono jogo sem vitória do cruzmaltino. — O jogo se apresentava para ser mais vertical e a gente trocava os passes mais lateralizados. No segundo tempo eu achei que a gente foi mal. Quando a gente toma um gol, perde um pouco de confiança e começa a vir um histórico recente. O time deu uma sentida — disse o treinador, na coletiva. E continuou: — Por conta do primeiro tempo e […]

A second for a swinging strike, a third for another swing-and-miss. A fourth for a foul ball, a fifth to push the count full. And finally, a sixth straight forkball to finally get Reynolds to fly innocently to right to end the inning and the threat.AdvertisementSenga had never relied as much on his forkball as he did in the New York Mets’ 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on Tuesday night. He threw it a career-high 40 times, generating a dozen swinging strikes. When the Pirates put men in scoring position, […]
