The New York Yankees claimed infielder Braden Shewmake off waivers from the Kansas City Royals, filling their 40-man roster and necessitating another roster move. Shewmake, who has struggled offensively with a .118 batting average in the majors, is valued for his defensive capabilities at multiple infield positions, mainly shortstop. However, his limited hitting prowess means the Yankees view this move as primarily depth-oriented rather than a direct solution to their infield challenges. With an option remaining, Shewmake may provide insurance in the minor leagues.
The Yankees have claimed infielder Braden Shewmake from the Royals to add depth to their roster, which now reaches capacity.
Shewmake, known for his defense rather than offense, will provide flexibility in the infield but isn't expected to solve the Yankees' lineup issues.
