RHP Abreu rejoins Yankees, claimed off waivers from Royals
Relief pitcher Albert Abreu is back with the Yankees, two months after he was traded to Texas as part of the deal that brought catcher Jose Trevino to New YorkJUNE 21, 2022 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Back in The Bronx The Yankees claimed Abreu off waivers from the Royals on Tuesday, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
Impact The right-hander will join the Yankees for the second time in his career after he had previously been acquired by the organization in a November 2016 deal that sent Brian McCann to Houston. Abreu reached the majors with the Yankees for the first time in 2020 and made 28 appearances out of the big-league bullpen in 2021 before he was dealt to the Rangers prior to Opening Day. Between stops with Texas and Kansas City this season, Abreu logged a 3.46 ERA and 12:16 K:BB across 13 big-league innings. He'll fill a low-leverage role out of New York's bullpen once he's formally added to the active roster.

Impact He has a 3.46 ERA, 2.00 WHIP and a 12:16 K:BB in 13 innings in the majors this season. In one game on April 29, Abreu had four walks and recorded four outs, and his poor control is what likely led to him losing his 40-man roster spot.

Walks three in loss Abreu allowed three walks over a scoreless third of an inning in Sunday's 2-0 loss to Oakland.
Impact The Rangers had planned to use multiple pitchers to get through Sunday's game, but Abreu's abbreviated showing forced manager Chris Woodward to adjust on the fly. Thankfully for Texas, left-hander Brett Martin cleaned up Abreu's mess by getting the final two batters in the fifth inning via strikeout. Sunday's walk-fest didn't hurt Abreu's ERA, but he's encountered some adversity in his four outings thus far. The right-hander has allowed only one run but has given up three hits, four walks and a hit batsman while striking out six over 5.1 innings.
