Guardians DFA Estevan Florial, Welcome Back Steven Kwan

The Cleveland Guardians designated former Yankees top prospect Estevan Florial for assignment due to his poor offensive performance, batting just .173 in 36 games. Florial, who was traded to Cleveland for pitcher Cody Morris, had a brief moment of revenge against the Yankees earlier this year. Meanwhile, the Yankees are benefiting from Morris as their outfield, now featuring Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Alex Verdugo, has significantly improved.

Yankees' Aaron Judge's Injury Update and Concerns.

The New York Yankees may need to acquire an outfielder due to Aaron Judge's extended absence, and they should consider making two moves to bolster their outfield. The team's decision to sign Billy McKinney over Estevan Florial remains a mystery, but it's possible they view Florial as a trade asset. The increasing presence of gambling in sports is a cause for concern, but it's unclear how much of a threat it poses to players.

"Cardinals face tough challenge against division leader Brewers"

The Cardinals will face the Brewers tonight in a game that could have implications for the NL Central division race. Outfielder Tyler O'Neill's playing time is in question after a benching due to perceived lack of hustle. The Yankees have designated outfielder Estevan Florial for assignment, and he may draw interest from other teams if he passes through waivers unclaimed. Several notable free agents, including Miguel Sano and Mike Minor, remain unsigned, with first base and starting pitching being areas of particular need for some teams.

Yankees designate Estevan Florial for assignment, future uncertain.

The New York Yankees have designated outfielder Estevan Florial for assignment to make room for pitcher Colten Brewer. Florial has struggled with strikeouts throughout his career and hit .850 with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre last season. The Yankees have seven days to trade Florial or put him on waivers. Brewer was acquired from the Rays for cash considerations and has struggled in 81 appearances over parts of four seasons in the majors.

Yankees Cut Ties with Estevan Florial.

The New York Yankees have designated outfielder Estevan Florial for assignment to make room for right-hander Colten Brewer on the big league roster. Florial, once one of the game’s top prospects, is unlikely to pass through waivers unclaimed, and the Yankees could look to trade him before he’s exposed to waivers. The 25-year-old outfielder has hit well in the minors but struggled in the majors, hitting just .185/.302/.278 over 63 plate appearances. The Yankees will remove Florial from the roster to make room for Brewer, who was acquired from the Rays in exchange for cash last week.

Yankees cut ties with Estevan Florial.

The New York Yankees have designated outfielder Estevan Florial for assignment as they add pitcher Colten Brewer to the active roster. Florial's removal from the roster had to come via DFA as he is out of minor league options. The 25-year-old's injuries have limited him virtually every season of his career, preventing him from getting the high-level game reps necessary to fully develop his impressive tools.

Yankees cut Florial, add Brewer to roster.

The New York Yankees have designated outfielder Estevan Florial for assignment and promoted reliever Colten Brewer to the majors. Florial, a former top prospect, has struggled with injuries and has only appeared in 30 big-league games, posting a .185/.302/.278 slash line. The move comes after the Yankees added veteran outfielder Franchy Cordero to the mix earlier this week. Brewer, acquired from the Tampa Bay Rays, figures to pitch in lower-leverage situations for the time being.

"Anthony Volpe's Impact on Yankees' Opening Day Roster and Middle Infielders"

The New York Yankees are finalizing their 26-man roster for Opening Day, with only a few spots left to be decided. Outfielders Estevan Florial and Rafael Ortega are traveling to New York, but only one is expected to make the final roster. The Yankees have to make decisions on both players since Florial is out of options and Ortega was only in camp on a minor-league deal as a non-roster invitee. The team has also sent down Greg Weissert, Ian Hamilton, and Willie Calhoun, leaving three spots still up in the air.
