The Yankees released lefty reliever Chasen Shreve from his minor league contract, tweets Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. In another small roster move, New York announced they reinstated right-hander Nick Burdi from the 60-day injured list and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The Yanks transferred Cody Poteet to the 60-day IL to open a 40-man roster spot for Burdi.
Shreve signed with New York in late June. He made 10 appearances for Scranton and pitched fairly well, allowing three earned runs over 11 innings. Shreve surrendered three more unearned runs but struck out 11 while only walking three. New York evidently didn’t believe he’d carry that form over at the major league level. Despite trading Caleb Ferguson and not adding another left-handed reliever at the deadline, they’ll let Shreve depart.
The 34-year-old Shreve hasn’t pitched in the big leagues this season. He has split his time between the Triple-A affiliates with the Rangers and Yankees. He made 50 MLB appearances between Detroit and Cincinnati a year ago, turning in a 4.63 earned run average with slightly better than average strikeout and walk rates over 44 2/3 frames.
New York added a pair of right-handers, Mark Leiter Jr. and Enyel De Los Santos, to their relief corps this week. Tim Hill is the only southpaw in their current bullpen while Anthony Misiewicz and Josh Maciejewski are on optional assignment in Triple-A.
Burdi is also headed to Scranton, though he’s evidently healthy after losing more than two months to a right hip injury. The Louisville product has had a very difficult time staying on the mound over his professional career but continues to intrigue evaluators with a fastball that sits around 98 MPH on average. Burdi has fired 9 2/3 innings of two-run ball for New York this season, already setting a personal-high mark with 12 MLB appearances.
Poteet’s 60-day minimum absence is retroactive to his initial IL placement on June 15. He’ll be eligible to return in the second week of August. He has yet to begin a minor league rehab assignment due to a triceps injury. Poteet started four games earlier in the year, turning in a 2.14 ERA across 21 innings.
Which is correct? post-season and off-season OR postseason and offseason…??
Depends on the style of writing… For example, Associated Press Style (often used in journalism) does not use hyphens. Also depends on the dictionary reference. Different dictionaries have different spellings of those two words.
Which is correct, Cashman or Cash-man?
Which is incorrect or in-correct?
uncorrect
Would be nice to see Chasen Shreve in a Pirates uniform once again.
Shreve on the move again. Good thing he’s a Lefty or he may need a new career path. Maybe him and Mike Ford can open up a hero or pizza place instead. Called the Two Paisanos
He’ll give the Rays 25 solid innings next year, then go out until 2027 with a UCL tear.
Shreve is bound for the bus station, exact change only please. Ahahaha!
He wasn’t horrible on the Tigers and we can actually use him right now. He’s having a really good season in AAA, fwiw. I wouldn’t mind us taking another flyer on him.
Twins desperately need a lefty for our bullpen. I’d say give him a shot. As broke as we are, even the Twins should be able to handle a minor league salary to get a left handed warm body…
