NICK BURDI NEWS

Inks minors deal with Boston Burdi signed a minor-league contract with the Red Sox on Friday, Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com reports.

Impact Burdi missed roughly three months last season due to hip inflammation, adding to his lengthy injury history. When he was healthy, he made 12 regular-season appearances for the Yankees, allowing two earned runs and striking out 12 batters over 9.2 innings. He's starting off his tenure with the Red Sox in minor-league camp, so he doesn't seem to have a shot at cracking their Opening Day bullpen, but he could work his way back to the majors if his health allows it.

Loses 40-man spot The Yankees designated Burdi for assignment Saturday.

Impact Burdi has allowed four runs (three earned) across 9.2 innings since being activated off the IL and optioned to Triple-A in August. Despite his success, he'll be squeezed off the 40-man roster in order to make room for Clarke Schmidt (lat) and Ian Hamilton (lat), both of whom returned from the 60-day IL on Saturday.

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The Yankees reinstated Burdi (hip) from the 60-day injured list Thursday and optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Impact Hip inflammation has kept Burdi on the injured list since late May, and he has been on a rehab assignment with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since last Thursday. He's allowed two earned runs in 2.2 innings during his time in Triple-A, and he will remain with the RailRiders now that he's fully recovered. Cody Poteet (triceps) was transferred from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster.

AUGUST 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starting up rehab assignment Burdi (hip) will report to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday to begin a rehab assignment.

Impact Considering that Burdi has been on the shelf since late May with right hip inflammation, he'll likely require at least a handful of appearances in the minors before returning from the 60-day injured list. Prior to being deactivated, Burdi made 12 appearances out of the Yankees bullpen, giving up two earned runs on five hits and nine walks while striking out 12 over 9.2 innings. He'll handle a low-leverage relief role once the Yankees activate him.

Close to rehab assignment Burdi (hip) could be ready for a rehab assignment by the end of next week, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Burdi had been slowed recently by a minor setback, but he's back on track and is slated to throw another live batting practice session soon. He's been on the shelf since late May with right hip inflammation but is tracking toward a return in early August.

Past setback, ramping back up Burdi (hip) recently had a setback in his rehab but is now ramping back up, per MLB.com.

Impact The nature of Burdi's setback isn't clear, but it appears to have been relatively minor. The righty reliever was set to throw from a mound at the Yankees' complex July 12 as he continues to work toward a rehab stint. Burdi could still be ready to return to the big-league club before the end of July, though his timeframe for activation from the IL remains hazy.

JULY 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scheduled for bullpen session Burdi (hip) will throw a live bullpen session Sunday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sunday will mark the first time Burdi has thrown since landing on the injured list May 24 due to right hip inflammation. In 12 appearances before the injury, he posted a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP across 9.2 innings. More bullpen sessions will be in store for the 31-year-old right-hander -- barring any setbacks after Sunday -- as he aims to return after the All-Star break.

JUNE 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Transferred to 60-day IL The Yankees transferred Burdi (hip) to the 60-day injured list Sunday.

Impact Burdi was placed on the 15-day injured list May 24 due to right hip inflammation. He received a platet-rich injection for the injury June 2, but he hasn't been cleared to start throwing. Burdi appeared in 12 games before landing on the injured list, registering a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 9.2 innings. Burdi's move to the 60-day injured list is to make room on the 40-man roster for J.D. Davis, who the Yankees acquired from the Athletics on Sunday.

He received a platelet-rich plasma injection for his hip earlier this month, but he hasn't been cleared to start throwing and will now remain out through the All-Star break. Burdi appeared in 12 games before landing on the IL, registering a 1.86 ERA and 1.45 WHIP over 9.2 innings.

Healthy leading into offseason Burdi (abdomen/elbow) is expected to have a normal offseason, Tony Andracki of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Impact Burdi required an appendectomy in May and then developed ulnar nerve irritation in his right elbow in August, logging just three total relief appearances with the Cubs in 2023, but he has put both issues in the rearview and will look to compete for an Opening Day bullpen spot next spring. Granted, the oft-injured 30-year-old could be a non-tender candidate for Chicago as he reaches arbitration this winter.

AUGUST 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shut down for a few days Burdi (abdomen) is dealing with ulnar nerve irritation, and he will be shut down and re-evaluated in a few days, Meghan Montemurro of the Chicago Tribune reports.
