Yankees make roster move after bullpen strategy backfires in Atlanta
Yankees make roster move after bullpen strategy backfires in Atlanta originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Yankees' sketchy pitching plan backfired Friday night, and now they need to scramble again to cover themselves. According to The New York Post's Joel Sherman, the team is designating reliever RIco Garcia for assignment after Thursday night's bullpen scramble in Atlanta. Garcia was one of four relievers used in the 8–1 loss, a self-inflicted mess following the All-Star break. The Yankees chose to open the second half with a bullpen game. After four days off. With a rotation already thinned by injury. J.T. Brubaker handled three innings in his debut. Garcia covered one. Ian Hamilton opened. It didn't work. And now the Yankees are short an arm again. This wasn't a surprise. It was preventable. They could have recalled a lengthened starter from Triple-A. Or gone with Will Warren, who last pitched on Sunday. Or Marcus Stroman, who pitched Friday and was lined up on extra rest. Instead, they used four relievers in Game 1 of a road trip and burned enough innings that someone had to go. Garcia was the odd man out. He'd just been picked up last week from the Mets, who DFA'd him as well. He has thrown 15.2 solid innings this year with a 3.45 ERA, but he was always an emergency arm they could cut if they needed to. So now the Yankees are scrambling again. Max Fried has been pushed back to the Toronto series. Cam Schlittler was scratched Friday with arm discomfort, but the Yankees are hopeful they will get him a start in the Blue Jays series as well. And with two games still to play in Atlanta, then a three-game series in Toronto, the Yankees are down to hoping someone steps up. Or steps in. The trade deadline is less than two weeks away, but the Yankees need to get there. Burning through the bullpen on the first day of the second half of the season wasn't a great start. And now they need another arm. Again This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 19, 2025, where it first appeared.

Mets' Francisco Lindor Sends Anthony Volpe Message After Harsh Yankees Move
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The New York Yankees earned a much needed win against their first-place division rival Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, closing the gap for the American League East lead to three games. The win eased some of the pressure on the Yankees as a team, but shortstop Anthony Volpe has more reason for concern than ever. He logged another error on defense and has the most of any shortstop in the American League. And he went hitless after being moved to the bottom of the lineup. "Volpe is 3-for-20 (.150) in his last six games and 12-for-87 (.138) in his last 24," Randy Miller noted for "His batting average is down to .212, a low-water mark since April 23." After a Gold Glove rookie season and then a step up at the plate last year, Volpe is having his worst overall season so far this year and patience among the fanbase seems to be running out. Manager Aaron Boone and executive Brian Cashman have both publicly defended Volpe amid the skid, but struggling in the New York spotlight can't be easy.

(Photo by New) More Yanke Volpe's struggles are becoming so pronounced that rival shortstop Franciso Lindor of the New York Mets offered some commiseration. "It's got to be tough," Lindor said of Volpe's issues, per Dan Martin of the New York Post. "It's got to be very tough to grow in this market. He always has the spotlight." Lindor, who initially struggled with the Mets following a trade from the Cleveland Guardians, earned an All-Star bid this season and has slashed .245/.313/.431 with a .978 fielding percentage so far this year. While acknowledging that the pressure of playing in New York can't make it easy for Volpe, Lindor added that he's confident the Yankees' shortstop will figure it out. "He's a good player," Lindor said, according to Martin. "He's a great defensive shortstop and when you're not hitting well, you can rely on good defense. It's the same thing with me. That's what you focus on." Unfortunately, Volpe's defense hasn't been much better than his offense. But with the confidence of his manager and front office, he seems to have some time to figure it out, as Lindor once did.
