Yankees Call Up Surging Prospect Pitcher
The New York Yankees have made a roster move, as they have called up prospect relief pitcher Bradley Hanner.
The New York Yankees have given a promising prospect, relief pitcher Bradley Hanner, his first opportunity in the majors. According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, Hanner will make his MLB debut after being called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The 6-foot-4 right-hander has proven himself worthy of this call-up, as he has been exceptional this season in the minors.
With the Yankees, Hanner has a 6-2 record, a 2.10 ERA, four saves, and 61 strikeouts in 40 games. This strong performance marks a significant improvement for Hanner, who had a 4-4 record and a 4.74 ERA with Triple-A Columbus in the 2025 campaign. Now, in his first taste of MLB action, Hanner will need to prove his worth to stay in the majors.
Hailing from Rhoadesville, Virginia, the 27-year-old has a solid track record in the minors, with a 37-24 record, a 3.93 ERA, and 403 strikeouts in 243 career minor league games over seven seasons.
