He underwent Tommy John surgery in April 2023 and missed that entire season.<\/p>\n<p>Traded to the Yankees in March 2024, he spent last season in the minors. He landed on the injured list to begin this season with cracked ribs in spring training.<\/p>\n<p>Brubaker was 9-28 with a 4.99 ERA in 63 games (61 starts) with the Pirates from 2020-22. He struck out 324 batters and walked 109 in 315 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Brubaker is 1-0 with a 2.95 ERA in six starts at three minor league stops.<\/p>\n<p>Also of note Wednesday, the Yankees are planning to give Ben Rice his first-ever start behind the plate Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Rice, 26, was primarily a catcher in the minors but had been serving as the designated hitter this season before Giancarlo Stanton returned from the injured list this week. Rice is batting .229 with 12 homers and 26 RBIs in 63 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yankees activated righty JT Brubaker, who has not pitched since 2022 following Tommy John surgery, from the injured list ahead of Wednesday night&#8217;s game against the Angels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":62384,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-62383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
