Yankees' JT Brubaker: On Cusp of Activation

  • On June 18, 2025, the New York Yankees reinstated right-handed pitcher J.T. Brubaker to the active roster ahead of their game versus the Los Angeles Angels.
  • In March 2024, the Yankees obtained Brubaker from the Pittsburgh Pirates; after missing the full 2023 season recovering from Tommy John surgery and then dealing with cracked ribs during this year’s spring training, he is now returning to action.
  • Brubaker last pitched in the majors in October 2022 with the Pirates and has six minor-league rehab starts this season with a 2.95 ERA, all at different minor league levels.
  • Brubaker holds a 9-28 MLB record with a 4.99 ERA and 324 strikeouts, and the Yankees optioned reliever Scott Effross to Triple-A to make room for Brubaker’s activation.
  • The Yankees face rotation injuries and depth issues, so they activated Brubaker to add pitching depth as he aims to earn a rotation spot in his final contract season.
