Right-hander Jake Woodford has opted out of his minor league deal with the Yankees, becoming a free agent, as reported by MLBTR’s Steve Adams. In a related move, the Yankees are selecting the contract of right-hander Carlos Carrasco from Triple-A Scranton, with him set to be active for tonight’s game against the Dodgers. Woodford, a former first-round pick, struggled in 2023 and was non-tendered by the Cardinals, while Carrasco, despite a rough start to the season, is expected to provide bullpen depth for the Yankees.
