The Yankees recalled De Los Santos from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday.

De Los Santos will provide manager Aaron Boone with a fresh bullpen arm ahead of Friday's doubleheader versus the Orioles. The 28-year-old reliever has managed a 1.35 ERA in 15 appearances out of the Yankees' bullpen this season, though that's come with an undesirable 15:8 K:BB.

Isbel went 2-for-3 in Thursday's 9-1 loss to the White Sox.

Isbel picked up a pair of singles, marking his first multi-hit effort since Sept. 3. It's been an ice-cold end to the 2026 campaign for the outfielder, as he's hitting just .148/.164/.148 with no RBI and five runs in 20 September contests. On the year, Isbel is slashing .220/.264/.321 with six homers, 24 RBI, 31 runs and six stolen bases over 98 games.

Rafaela is not in the lineup for the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Cubs.

Rafaela didn't have to miss any starts because of a right hamstring cramp that he suffered Wednesday versus the Guardians. Presumably, he's simply resting for the first game Friday and will be back in action for the nightcap. Jarren Duran will play center field for the Red Sox during the afternoon tilt.

Rodriguez went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Thursday's 6-4 loss to the Angels.

Rodriguez went deep in the second inning to put the Mariners ahead temporarily. He had gone 11 games without a long ball, though he batted .364 in that span. For the season, the star outfielder is batting .250 with a .718 OPS, 22 homers, 70 RBI, 69 runs scored, 26 doubles and 22 stolen bases over 148 contests in what's been the most challenging campaign of his career.

Woo (12-10) allowed five runs (four earned) on seven hits, three walks and a hit batsman while striking out eight over 5.1 innings to take the loss Thursday versus the Angels.

The story of Woo's season was extreme home/road splits, but he ended the campaign with 11 runs allowed (10 earned) over his last 17.1 innings at T-Mobile Park. Overall, it concludes as a mostly average campaign for Woo, who had a 4.01 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 175:39 K:BB across 173 innings over 30 starts. He still figures to be a major part of the Mariners' rotation moving forward.

Watson struck out two in a perfect inning to earn the save in Thursday's 6-4 win over the Mariners.

Ben Joyce (shoulder) is done for the year, so Watson is poised to handle the closing duties in the last series of 2026. The 28-year-old Watson has allowed just one run with an 11:1 K:BB over 8.1 innings in September. He's at a 4.00 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 65:23 K:BB across 72 innings between the Angels and the Red Sox this season. He's converted four of six save chances and added eight holds.

Rodriguez (5-8) allowed four runs on five hits and five walks while striking out two over five innings to earn the win over the Mariners on Thursday.

Rodriguez wasn't great, but he did enough to end his season on a winning note. However, the five walks were a season high, and he allowed 19 runs over 27 innings across his five starts in September. Rodriguez ends 2026 at a 6.02 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 85:43 K:BB through 98.2 innings over 20 starts, failing to revitalize his young career with a change of scenery this year.

Butler went 3-for-5 with a double in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

Butler wasn't able to join in on the run production, but he put up a third straight multi-hit effort. The outfielder has gone 17-for-47 (.362) over his last 12 contests. He's batting .239 with a .727 OPS, 17 home runs, 61 RBI, 63 runs scored, 19 doubles, two triples and 10 stolen bases over 151 games this season.

McNeil went 2-for-4 with a three-run home run and a double in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

McNeil ended a 15-game power drought with his third-inning blast off Peter Lambert. It had been six games without an extra-base hit or a multi-effort for McNeil. He's now batting .267 with a .690 OPS, nine homers, 23 doubles, 59 RBI, 51 runs scored and eight stolen bases over 141 contests.

Gelof went 2-for-3 with a pair of solo home runs and a walk in Thursday's 7-5 loss to the Astros.

Gelof has gone 11-for-26 (.423) with four homers and eight RBI during his seven-game hitting streak. The strong finish to the year has him up to a .259 average, .810 OPS, 22 homers, 54 RBI, 74 runs scored, 16 doubles, two triples and 16 stolen bases over 108 contests. Gelof is seeing steady time at third base now that Max Muncy (knee) is out.
