Yankees Add Mitch Garver on Minor League Deal to Bolster Catcher Depth

The New York Yankees signed catcher Mitch Garver to a minor league contract and assigned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre with an opt-out later this month. Garver, 35, began the year with Seattle before being released, posting a .175/.302/.294 line in 149 plate appearances; his 2019–2023 production was strong (.250/.346/.508, 131 wRC+ with 75 HR in 1,242 PAs). In 2024–2026 he’s battled through a .185/.292/.333 line in 869 PAs. The move provides catching depth behind Austin Wells and Ali Sánchez, and Garver could be called up if Wells’ struggles persist.

Mariners Oust Garver and Refsnyder, Elevate Ward and Pereda

Seattle released catcher Mitch Garver and outfielder Rob Refsnyder, replacing Garver with catcher Jhonny Pereda and Refsnyder with Taylor Ward, who was acquired in a trade the day before. Garver, 35, has struggled this season (.175/.302/.294 in 149 PA) and isn’t strong defensively, while Refsnyder, also 35, has hit just .140/.211/.254 in 2026 after a strong lefty season last year. Ward provides Seattle with an everyday left-handed bat, and Pereda, who hit well in the minors (.319/.402/.440 in Triple-A), will back up Cal Raleigh. Both players are now free agents after clearing waivers; the Mariners will cover the remaining salaries, and with the trade deadline past there are no further roster moves available for this season.

Mariners Shuffle: Crawford to IL, Garver Joins Roster as Knizner Elects Free Agency

Seattle placed J.P. Crawford on the 10-day injured list with right shoulder inflammation (retroactive to March 22), opening a 40-man spot that was filled by Mitch Garver. Andrew Knizner cleared waivers and elected free agency, leaving a 40-man vacancy and freeing Seattle from his $1 million salary for the year if he signs elsewhere (the new team would owe him prorated minimum, with Seattle still responsible for the remaining balance if he stays with another club). Crawford is expected back in a few weeks, likely with Leo Rivas stepping in at shortstop and Ryan Bliss contributing. Knizner, signed as Raleigh’s likely backup, struggled in spring, while Garver provides added catching depth after a delayed signing.}

"Key Players and Predictions for Rangers vs. Astros ALCS Series"

While the Texas Rangers' postseason success has been attributed to their star signings and exciting rookies, the contributions of unheralded players Mitch Garver, Jonah Heim, and Nathaniel Lowe have been crucial. Garver has been driving in runs and hitting well, particularly against left-handed pitchers, while Heim has excelled defensively and recorded hits in all five postseason games. Lowe, despite a dip in power this season, could be a key player against the righty-heavy Houston pitching staff. The Rangers' success is a result of a team effort and the contributions of these under-the-radar players.

Trayce Thompson's Monster Season Debut for Dodgers.

Trayce Thompson hit three home runs and collected eight RBI in the Dodgers' 10-1 win over the Diamondbacks. Despite his strikeout issues, Thompson could be a valuable power threat off the bench for the Dodgers and fantasy managers in deep or NL-only leagues. Other notable hitting performances from Saturday include Adam Duvall's two-homer, five-RBI game for the Red Sox, Mitch Garver's six-RBI performance for the Rangers, and Matt Olson's two-home run game for the Braves.
