The Yankees announced that outfielder Taylor Trammell has been designated for assignment. The move opens up a 26-man roster spot for utilityman Jon Berti, who has been activated from the 10-day injured list after missing the last three weeks due to a groin strain.
In a little more than five weeks’ time, Trammell has been DFA’ed by three different organizations. The Mariners designated Trammell just prior to Opening Day, and the Dodgers claimed the outfielder off waivers a few days later. Los Angeles then returned Trammell to DFA limbo in mid-April, and Trammell found himself quickly on the move once more when the Yankees placed a claim. Trammell is out of minor league options, hence the whirlwind of transactions as teams have had to try and sneak him through waivers in order to officially outright him off the 40-man roster. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Trammell claimed again if yet another club has need for some outfield depth, so the 26-year-old could soon add a fourth team to his 2024 resume.
More to come…
