"Selected by the Yankees with their third-round pick back in 2021, the now-23-year-old Selvidge isn't on the team's 40-man roster and went unclaimed in December's Rule 5 Draft. He was still a candidate to make his big league debut at some point in 2026, having gone through a second stint at Double-A in 2025, where he logged a 4.68 ERA, an 18.9% strikeout rate and a 12.2% walk rate."
"Baseball America ranked Selvidge 12th among Yankees farmhands heading into the 2026 season, labeling him a potential fourth or fifth starter who sports a five-pitch arsenal that includes an average or better four-seamer, cutter and sweeper."
"The 2026 season will be Selvidge's third straight year in which an arm injury has limited his workload. By the time he's cleared to throw off a mound in 2027, he'll be facing a three-year period where he's thrown 167 2/3 innings despite regularly working as a starting pitcher."
Brock Selvidge, a 23-year-old Yankees prospect selected in the 2021 draft, underwent an internal brace procedure on his left elbow and will miss the entire 2026 season. The right-handed pitcher completed a second stint at Double-A in 2025 with a 4.68 ERA and was considered a candidate for a major league debut. Baseball America ranked him 12th among Yankees farmhands as a potential fourth or fifth starter with a five-pitch arsenal. Selvidge has struggled with recurring arm injuries, marking his third consecutive year dealing with arm problems. He will not accrue major league service time or pay during his recovery, as he remains off the 40-man roster.
