US EditionYankees acquire IF Max Schuemann in trade with Athletics
- The Yankees acquired infielder Max Schuemann from the Athletics in exchange for minor-league right-hander Luis Burgos on Monday.
- Because Anthony Volpe will be sidelined until May, the Yankees targeted Schuemann for infield depth after Oakland designated him for assignment last week.
- Stat lines show Max Schuemann batted.197 with two home runs, 13 RBI and a.568 OPS in 213 plate appearances last season, while grading plus-8 Outs Above Average and playing every position except first base and catcher.
- To clear a 40-man spot, the Yankees designated outfielder Yanquiel Fernández for assignment and outrighted right-handed pitcher Dom Hamel and infielder Braden Shewmake to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, inviting both to 2026 Major League spring training.
- Given the crowded backup infield, Schuemann could still factor into shortstop coverage while Anthony Volpe rehabs, but he is more likely to start in the minors with three remaining options.
