New York Yankees bullpen depth acquisitions

Overview

The New York Yankees have signed right-handed reliever Eli Morgan to a minor league contract to increase bullpen depth. Morgan, who was recently designated for assignment by the Kansas City Royals, previously recorded a 1.93 ERA with the Cleveland Guardians in 2024 before facing performance fluctuations following an elbow injury in 2025.

The signing occurs as the Yankees' pitching staff manages injuries, including Max Fried, and the return of Carlos Rodon to the rotation, as the team navigates a tight divisional race.
