The New York Yankees added left-hander Ryan Yarbrough to their bullpen on a one-year contract Monday.
Financial terms were not disclosed but ESPN reported the deal was worth $2 million guaranteed plus up to $500,000 in incentives.
Yarbrough had been at spring training with the Toronto Blue Jays on a minor league deal but opted out.
The 33-year-old Yarbrough was used exclusively as a reliever last season in 44 games split between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Blue Jays, finishing 5-2 with a career-best 3.19 ERA in 98 2/3 innings over 44 games. He had one save.
He began his career with the Tampa Bay Rays (2018-22) and also has pitched for the Kansas City Royals. In 196 games (68 starts), Yarbrough is 53-40 with a 4.21 ERA.
To make room on the 40-man roster, the Yankees placed right-hander Luis Gil on the 60-day injured list with a right lat strain. Gil, 26, is 16-8 with a 3.55 ERA in 36 starts in parts of three seasons with New York.
He won the American League Rookie of the Year award in 2024.
