The New York Yankees are considering moving left-hander Ryan Yarbrough to the bullpen as they push toward the postseason. The potential shift would strengthen the Yankees' pitching depth and give manager Aaron Boone a flexible left-handed pitcher capable of handling both high-leverage spots and multi-inning assignments during the final stretch of the 2025 regular season.

Yarbrough, who last pitched Tuesday during a Triple-A rehab outing, may rejoin the major league roster as early as Sunday. Rather than slotting back into the rotation, the plan under discussion is to use him out of the bullpen for the remainder of the 2025 campaign.
