Yankees' Aaron Judge on Long IL Stint with Toe Injury

The New York Yankees may have to deal with a long IL stint for outfielder Aaron Judge, who suffered soreness in his right big toe after a spectacular wall-breaking catch in Los Angeles. Judge did not rule out a fracture in his toe and a trip to the injured list. If Judge goes on the IL, Franchy Cordero is expected to replace him on the active roster. The Yankees' depth will be tested, with Isiah Kiner-Falefa likely to be a full-time center fielder and Jake Bauers and Willie Calhoun holding down the corner spots.

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.

Yankees add versatile outfielder Franchy Cordero to roster.

Franchy Cordero, the new outfielder for the New York Yankees, has every tool imaginable, including a cannon throwing arm and top exit velocities and sprint speed. However, his career .221 batting average and high strikeout rate have led to him being on his fifth big-league club since 2019. He will likely replace Estevan Florial on the roster, but a scout suggests that Florial has similar tools and may be traded instead of losing him on waivers. The scout sees Cordero as a good fourth outfielder who can hit for power but needs to be used selectively against certain pitchers.
