EspañolThe Yankees invited outfielder Randal Grichuk to spring training, they announced before their game at the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday.
Grichuk, 34, joins New York as a non-roster invitee.
He most recently split his 2025 season with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Kansas City Royals.
In 113 games, Grichuk slashed .228/.273/.401 with nine home runs and 27 RBI.
He had been with the Diamondbacks since the start of the 2024 season in which he slashed .291/.348/.528 with 12 home runs and 46 RBI over 106 games.
His MLB career includes stints with the St. Louis Cardinals (2014-17), Toronto Blue Jays (2018-21) and Colorado Rockies (2022-23).
The Los Angeles Angels selected him with the No. 24 overall pick in the first round of the 2009 draft.
Ryan Yarbrough joins Team USA's 30-man roster for WBC
The Yankees' 34-year-old lefty heads to the Americans in place of Minnesota Twins right-hander Joe Ryan, Team USA announced.
Ryan is dealing with a back injury and heads to the designated pitcher pool where he remains eligible after each round of the tournament.
"It lines up with his next outing, and it's obviously a good opportunity," Yankees manager Aaron Boone said of Yarbrough, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch.
Yarbrough joins Aaron Judge, David Bednar and Paul Goldschmidt as the Yankees' Team USA representatives.
Cody Bellinger shows improvement from back injury
Boone's plan for Bellinger is live batting practice on Tuesday and to play on Thursday, according to Hoch.
The Yankees face the Twins Thursday at 1:05 p.m. from George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, Fla.
Ryan McMahon set for SS
McMahon, the Yankees' third baseman, will see some time at short this week.
That begins with Tuesday's 1:05 p.m. game against Panama.
"I expect he'll be fine there, as natural a fielder as he is, but we'll see how it plays out a little bit," Boone said, via Hoch.
