Nick Burdi, a 31-year-old righty reliever, stood out during spring training 2024 for the Yankees despite his limited MLB innings and health challenges, including surgeries and a procedure. His impressive strikeout ability with a four-seamer/slider combo earned him a spot in the bullpen.
Though right hip inflammation briefly sidelined Burdi after only seven games for the Yankees, he has now recovered and is set to rejoin the bullpen for the upcoming series against the Rays, showcasing resilience and determination in the face of setbacks.
Nick Burdi's return to the active roster led to the demotion of Ron Marinaccio, who displayed solid performance with a 1.42 ERA during his brief tenure with the team. Marinaccio is expected to return due to standard pitcher injury turnover.
Infielder Oswald Peraza's rehab progress from a shoulder injury was highlighted, with his transfer to Double-A Somerset indicating his imminent return to the field after dealing with setbacks during spring training.
