Yankees Elevate Hanner to MLB, Shuffle Judge to 60-Day IL
The Yankees signed right-hander Bradley Hanner to a big-league contract and added him to the 40-man roster, optioning him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. To clear 40-man space, New York moved Aaron Judge from the 10‑day injured list to the 60‑day IL after a left rib fracture, delaying his return to late July or August. Hanner has strong Triple-A numbers (1.99 ERA, ~29% strikeouts in 40 2/3 innings) and is a 2019 21st-round pick who spent time in the Twins and Guardians systems before joining the Yankees—a move that formalizes his place in the organization and could lead to a big-league debut soon.
