Evans was reassigned Tuesday to minor-league camp by the Yankees. Evans signed a minor-league deal with an invitation to spring training over the winter, but he'll at least begin the 2023 season in the minors. The right-hander has shown electric stuff at times, but his inability to command his arsenal has limited his chances at the highest level.

Evans signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Friday that includes an invitation to major-league spring training. Evans looked like a potential closer not that long ago with the Rangers, but he's always had control issues and his velocity really dipped in 2022. He can still miss bats, though, making him a worthy gamble on a minor-league pact.

Evans was assigned outright to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Evans was removed from the Rangers' 40-man roster last weekend, and none of MLB's other 29 teams were willing to take a flier on him. The right-hander impressed in a small cup of coffee with the big club at the tail end of the 2020, but he was unable to build on that success in 2021, and things have fallen apart for him at the Triple-A level this season (7.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP, 14 walks in 12 innings).

The Rangers designated Evans for assignment Sunday. The transaction reopens a spot on the 40-man roster for right-hander Glenn Otto (illness), who was reinstated from the COVID-19-related injured list ahead of his scheduled start Sunday against the Nationals. Evans has pitched exclusively for Triple-A Round Rock this season, logging a 7.50 ERA, 1.75 WHIP and 17:14 K:BB across 12 innings out of the bullpen.

Evans was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Evans spent just over a month in the Rangers' bullpen, but he struggled recently by giving up three runs in 2.2 innings across three appearances since Sept. 1. He'll attempt to sort things out in Round Rock after right-hander Dane Dunning (undisclosed) was reinstated from the COVID-19 IL.
