Yankees 2023 transaction tracker: Pitcher Greg Weissert recalled, Colten Brewer DFA’d
Here is a look at the latest Yankees roster moves…
April 14, 3:25 p.m.
The Yankees announced Friday they have called-up pitcher Greg Weissert from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and designated pitcher Colten Brewer for assignment.
The move comes after the Yankees bullpen got taxed for 8.1 innings of relief on Thursday in an 11-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins after starter Jhony Brito failed to make it out of the first. New York’s 40-man roster count now stands at 30 after the move.
Brewer joined the Yankees’ Opening Day roster after having spent spring training in the Tampa Bay Rays’ organization. The 30-year-old appeared in three games for this season, allowing four runs (all earned) on six hits while walking three and striking out four in 8.1 innings pitched (4.32 ERA). The right-hander got bitten by the long ball three times in his final appearance against the Twins on Thursday night.
If Brewer clears waivers, he has the right to reject the assignment and elect free agency.
Weissert, 28, appeared in 12 games for the Yanks last season – his first action at the Major League level. The righty allowed seven runs (all earned) on six hits while walking five and striking out 11 in 11.1 innings (5.56 ERA).
