He's not the only guy arriving with the Yanks from Triple-A, though. Kervin Castro is coming, too.
MLB insider Francys Romero reported the news on Thursday. It'll be Castro's first time in MLB since 2022.
The 27-year old's name really is Kervin, and he has a 3.14 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 14.1 innings this season so far at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
A season ago, Castro had a 1.53 ERA in Triple-A.
"Kervin's gotten my attention," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said in Spring Training, via MLB.com .

He made his debut in 2021 with the San Francisco Giants and had a 0.00 ERA in 10 games.
He then gave up five runs in just 1.2 innings for the Giants in 2022 and moved on to the Chicago Cubs , where he had a 7.59 ERA in eight appearances.
He pitched in 2023 at Triple-A Toledo in the Tigers' organization, then missed the entire 2024 season before his time with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2025.
Now, he's proven again with the RailRiders that his stuff can still get the job done. He'll try to show that it works in the majors, too.
