The Yankees have signed veteran catcher to a minor league deal, per an announcement from their Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre affiliate. Hell return to the Yankees organization and provide some depth behind the plate. The 36-year-old Brantly was with the Marlins for most of the season. He signed a minor league deal with Miami in the winter, was selected to the major league roster in April and wound up spending a couple Dave Henderson Jersey months on the 60-day injured list after suffering a lat strain during his brief call-up. He tallied a trio of singles in seven at-bats during his limited time with the big league club and has slashed .359/.390/.590 in a tiny sample of 41 plate appearances with the Marlins Triple-A club in Jacksonville this year. Brantly has appeared in parts of 10 big league seasons but hasnt topped 36 MLB plate appearances in a given year since 2013. Hes a .226/.286/.323 hitter in 472 big league plate appearances and has played in parts of 13 Triple-A seasons with more than 2700 plate appearances to his credit. He saw brief MLB time with the Yankees in 2021-22 and had a generally productive two years in Triple-A with the Yankees organization in that time. The Yankees are set at catcher in the majors, with , and all on the roster. They traded catching prospects and in respective deals to bring and into the bullpen. Brantly will help to replenish some of that lost upper-level catching depth. Collin Snider Jersey
