• Yankees' Duke Ellis: Outrighted to Triple-A

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  The Yankees outrighted Ellis to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday. Ellis appeared in just 11 games between the White Sox and Yankees during the 2024 regular season, going 1-for-5 with five stolen bases over that span. He was included on the Yankees' ALDS roster against the Royals, but he only made one pinch-running appearance during that series.

  Ellis is included on the Yankees' roster for the American League Division Series versus the Royals. Ellis played in just 11 games between the White Sox and Yankees in the regular season and logged just five plate appearances. However, he came in handy as a base stealer, notching five thefts in as many attempts. Ellis ended the campaign in the minors and will likely be used almost exclusively as a pinch runner during the divisional round.

• Yankees' Duke Ellis: Optioned to Triple-A

  Ellis was optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre following Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Cubs. Ellis was called up last Sunday, securing a hit in his only at-bat while with the team before being sent down. The outfielder's departure from the major-league roster opens a spot for Jon Berti (calf), who's set to return from the 60-day injured list.

• Yankees' Duke Ellis: Summoned to big leagues

  The Yankees recalled Ellis from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday. Rather than summoning top prospect Jasson Dominguez from Triple-A to bolster their outfield in September, the Yankees will instead turn to the 26-year-old Ellis, who has bounced around between four organizations in 2024. The Yankees are presumably still keen on giving Dominguez regular at-bats until the Triple-A season ends, whereas Ellis profiles as a more traditional bench option. Ellis has posted a weak .651 OPS across his various stops in the minors this season, but he's capable of playing center field and represents an ideal late-inning pinch-running option. He has compiled 51 stolen bases between the Double-A and Triple-A levels in 2024.
