Yankees Turn to Ryan Yarbrough Again as Injury-Hit Rotation Needs Cover

Free-agent Yarbrough is closing in on a one-year deal with the Yankees. The swingman, who posted a 4.22 ERA over 832 career innings, returns as rotation insurance with Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodon, and Clarke Schmidt set to open 2026 on the IL. Mixing cutter, changeup and sinker, Yarbrough fits Brian Cashman’s push to add depth while bigger rotation moves loom.
