Jorbit Vivas - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Optioned to Triple-A The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday.

Impact Vivas enjoyed a fair amount of success over his 10 spring training games, going 10-for-25 with three RBI and two runs scored. He'll return to the minors to begin the 2025 season, but he could make a push for the majors if his bat remains hot.

Making spring debut Vivas (shoulder) will start at second base and bat seventh in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vivas will be making his spring debut Tuesday after a sore shoulder delayed his entry into the spring lineup. The 23-year-old infielder is a member of the Yankees' 40-man roster, but he has yet to make his big-league debut and is most likely to begin the 2025 season in an everyday role at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Dealing with sore shoulder Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Thursday that Vivas hasn't participated in any Grapefruit League games due to shoulder soreness, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports.

Impact Vivas is close to being game-ready, per Boone. The 23-year-old hit .225/.347/.366 with nine homers and 20 steals over 93 games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2024 and is likely to head back there to begin the 2025 campaign.

Sent back to minors The Yankees optioned Vivas to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Orioles.

Impact Vivas was called up from Triple-A on Friday but went unused throughout the weekend and is still awaiting his MLB debut. He'll get regular playing time once he rejoins Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, with whom he was slashing .258/.404/.424 over 166 plate appearances on the season prior to receiving a promotion.

Joining big club The Yankees are calling up Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.

Impact The 23-year-old has played well in his second taste of the Triple-A level this year with an .828 OPS in 37 games, and he'll now receive his first look in the majors. Vivas doesn't have a clear path to playing time but could receive some reps at third base given the offensive struggles of DJ LeMahieu and Oswaldo Cabrera.

Rehabbing at High-A The Yankees transferred Vivas' (undisclosed) rehab assignment Tuesday from Single-A Tampa to High-A Hudson Valley.

Impact Vivas remains on Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's 7-day injured list with an unspecified injury, which has prevented him from playing with the affiliate since April 24. The infielder appears to be closing in on a return to the Triple-A club, however, after going 1-for-11 with three walks and a stolen base across his four rehab appearances with Tampa last week.

Doing it all at Double-A Vivas is slashing .300/.404/.474 with 10 home runs, 13 steals and a 38:36 K:BB in 79 games for Double-A Tulsa.

Impact The 22-year-old second baseman has been steady all season for the Drillers, and he could soon get a promotion to Triple-A. Vivas, who hits left-handed, has a 21.7 percent hard-hit rate and a 22.5 percent soft-hit rate, and he projects for below-average game power in the big leagues despite this strong showing in the Texas League.

Thriving in Double-A Vivas is slashing .391/.473/.766 with four home runs, 10 doubles, a triple, 14 runs, 12 RBI and three stolen bases through 16 games with Double-A Tulsa.

Impact Vivas hasn't generally ranked among the Dodgers' top 10 prospects to this point, but that could change if he continues to hit the way he is now. The 21-year-old has started his first stint at Double-A with a 16-game hitting streak, knocking multiple hits in eight of those contests. Vivas had already flashed a strong hit tool and a sharp eye at the plate coming into 2023, hitting .286 through his first three years in the minors and consistently posting strikeout rates in the low-to-mid-teens. He had topped out at 14 homers across 477 plate appearances in 2021 but is already well above that pace with four long balls this season.

Sent to minors camp Vivas was optioned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.

Impact Vivas needed to be optioned since he was added to the 40-man roster in November. The 22-year-old infielder spend the 2022 season with High-A Great Lakes while registering a .775 OPS along with 10 homers and two stolen bases. He'll likely report to Double-A Tulsa to begin 2023.

MARCH 13, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Added to 40-man roster Vivas was added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.

Impact Vivas showed last season that he has one of the best hit tools in the lower levels of the minors, hitting .318/.422/.424 with 13 strikeouts and 13 walks as a 20-year-old at High-A. He is in a pretty crowded organization, but Vivas' stock is trending up.
