Yoendrys

Gomez

Gómez draws the short straw for New York as they needed to clear out a roster spot for Tuesday’s starter Will Warren.

Gomez is back up to fulfill a bullpen role with Josh Maciejewski sent back to Triple-A Saturday night in the corresponding transaction.

Cousins has allowed two earned runs on four hits in six innings at Triple-A while striking out eight and walking four. He’s also allowed one run on four hits in three innings for the Yankees this season. He’ll function as a fresh arm in a beleaguered bullpen. Yoendrys Gómez was optioned in a corresponding move.

Gómez was called up on Saturday after posting a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, and a 54/26 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his 12 starts in the minors. However, he struggled in his only appearance with the Yankees, allowing five runs on four hits in two innings. He’ll go back into the Triple-A rotation and Jake Cousins was called up in a corresponding move.

The 24-year-old hurler has made just one appearance with the Yankees this season — striking out all three hitters that he faced in emphatic fashion. He has also impressed at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he posted a 3.13 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and a 54/26 K/BB ratio over 46 innings in his 12 starts. He’ll add length to a Yankees’ bullpen that has been overworked recently.

The 24-year-old right-hander couldn’t have done a much better job in his limited action with the Yankees, striking out all three batters that he faced in his lone inning of work. It shouldn’t take him long to earn another opportunity to work out of the Yankees’ bullpen.

The 24-year-old right-hander has spent the entire 2024 season at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre where he has posted a 3.62 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 33/18 K/BB ratio over 27 1/3 innings in his eight starts. He’ll add depth and length out of the Yankees’ bullpen with Nick Burdi (hip) heading back to the injured list.

There was some thought that Gil could make New York’s season-opening pitching mix as a reliever as he makes his way back from Tommy John surgery, but that won’t happen now. Meanwhile, Hampton is a consensus top-100 prospect entering the 2024 campaign and will open the year in the upper minors.

The 23-year-old hurler looked terrific in his lone appearance with the Yankees — allowing just one hit while racking out four strikeouts over two scoreless innings. He’ll be an intriguing option for the Yankees heading into spring training next season, as he might fit best with the big league club as a multi-inning bullpen option.

The 23-year-old Venezuelan will be skipping Triple-A ahead of his major-league debut. Gómez has spent the entire season at Double-A, racking up 78 strikeouts in 65 1/3 innings with a 3.86 ERA across 19 games started. This move was made in association with LHP Wandy Peralta hitting the 15-day IL. Gómez has pitched three or fewer innings in all but seven of his starts this season so he’s likely a mid-relief option.
