Yankees’ Yovanny Cruz Assigned to Triple-A

Yankees reliever Yovanny Cruz, who impressed with high velocity and a new splitter, was sent back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after showing potential in his first three major league games. Despite striking out three in 2 ⅓ scoreless innings against the Blue Jays and not issuing any walks, the Yankees want him to refine his command and splitter. Manager Aaron Boone expressed encouragement about Cruz’s development, emphasizing the need for continued work. Meanwhile, the Yankees activated Trent Grisham and Ryan McMahon, adjusting their roster accordingly.
