Left-hander has signed a minor league deal with the Yankees and has been a signed to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, per his at MLB.com. He had previously been with the Cubs on a minor league deal but was released earlier this week. Pannone, 30, was working out of the rotation for Triple-A Iowa prior to his release and was putting up decent numbers, so its po sible that he triggered some Keider Montero Jersey kind of opt-opt. After signing a minor league deal with the Cubs in the winter, he logged 90 2/3 innings over 19 starts with a 4.37 earned run average, 22% strikeout rate, 8.1% walk rate and 42% ground ball rate. The run-scoring environment in the International League has been pretty strong this year, with pitchers in the IL having a combined 4.90 ERA. Pannones 4.37 mark is 12th out of 29 qualified pitchers in that league. The Yanks have a strong rotation at the major league level right now but their depth has taken a few hits. Though , , , and have the five big league spots, guys like , , and are all injured. Schmidt went on the injured list in late May due to a lat strain and still hasnt begun a rehab a signment. Poteet landed on the IL about a month ago due to a right triceps strain and he hasnt started a rehab a signment yet either. Brubaker was rehabbing from last years Tommy John surgery but was recently shut down with an oblique strain. Beeter has some kind of shoulder i sue and might be done for the season, per Greg Joyce of the New York Post . Since Pannone has been in decent form this year, the Yanks will bring him aboard to replace some of that mi sing depth. He has 118 2/3 innings of major league experience with the Blue Jays and Brewers with a 5.46 ERA in that time. He also spent parts of 2022 and 2023 in Korea, to sing 165 innings for the KBOs Kia Tigers with a 3.49 ERA. If Pannone is added to New Yorks roster at any point, he is out of options.
