The New York Yankees claimed outfielder Bryan De La Cruz off waivers from the Atlanta Braves on Thursday.
The Yankees optioned De La Cruz, 28, to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
De La Cruz batted .191 in 16 games this season for Atlanta. He is a career .251 hitter with 58 homers and 208 RBIs in 491 games with the Miami Marlins (2021-24), Pittsburgh Pirates (2024) and Braves.
New York transferred DH/OF Giancarlo Stanton to the 60-day injured list to make room on the 40-man roster.
Stanton, 35, has been sidelined all season by pain in both elbows. Last week, the five-time All-Star took batting practice with teammates for the first time this season.
