The Twins reassigned LaMarre to minor-league camp Thursday.
LaMarre's time in big-league camp comes to a close after he managed just two hits in 22 Grapefruit League at-bats. Having not appeared in a big-league game since 2021, when he slashed .190/.292/.476 in 24 plate appearances with the Yankees, LaMarre would likely need an impressive showing with Triple-A to see time with the Twins this season.

Twins' Ryan LaMarre: Strikes deal with Minnesota
Rotowire
LaMarre signed a minor-league contract with the Twins on Wednesday.
After spending the past two years in the Yankees organization, LaMarre will make his return to Minnesota, with whom he spent part of the 2018 season. The 34-year-old possesses good speed and is a decent defender, but he's unlikely to get a call to the big leagues unless he's needed as a depth option if a slew of injuries hit the Minnesota outfield.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Lands on injured list
Rotowire
LaMarre was placed on the 7-day minor-league injured list for an unspecified reason Saturday, Conor Foley of The Scranton Times-Tribune reports.
While the nature of LaMarre's injury isn't yet clear, he'll be forced to miss at least a week. Over 17 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre this year, he's hit .222 with four doubles, nine runs, four RBI and two stolen bases.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Rejoins Bronx Bombers
Rotowire
LaMarre signed a minor-league contract with the Yankees on Wednesday and received an invitation to big-league spring training.
LaMarre will be with the Yankees for the second consecutive spring as a non-roster invitee. He spent the majority of the 2021 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, though he had a couple brief stints on the big-league roster when the New York outfield was decimated by injuries. In 24 plate appearances with the Yankees, LaMarre hit .190 with two home runs and a stolen base.

Ryan LaMarre: Reaches free agency
Rotowire
La Marre elected free agency last week, Brendan Kuty of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
When injuries decimated the Yankees' outfield depth earlier in the summer, LaMarre was up with the big club for two separate stints. He appeared in nine games for New York, batting .190 over 24 plate appearances. The 32-year-old journeyman outfielder will presumably have to settle for a minor-league deal with the Yankees or another organization this winter.

Rotowire
LaMarre was outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after clearing waivers Monday.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: DFA'd by Yankees
Rotowire
LaMarre was designated for assignment by the Yankees on Friday.
The 32-year-old appeared in six games since being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on July 18, but he lost his spot on the 40-man roster with the Yankees making numerous additions at the deadline. LaMarre could end up back at Triple-A if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Bows out of lineup
Rotowire
LaMarre is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
LaMarre had started in three of the past four games, but his run of steady playing time will likely come to an end with Aaron Judge returning from the COVID-19 injured list Tuesday and with another outfielder (Estevan Florial) getting called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Wednesday. The 32-year-old LaMarre will be at risk of losing his roster spot the next time the Yankees need to activate another player.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Pops second homer
Rotowire
LaMarre went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 4-3 win over the Rays.
His eighth-inning shot off Jeffrey Springs proved to be the game's winning run. LaMarre has started three of eight games since his promotion after the All-Star break, going 4-for-13 with both his homers on the year, but his role could be reduced significantly if the Yankees bring in outfield reinforcements at the trade deadline.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Returns to Yankees
Rotowire
The Yankees recalled LaMarre from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday, Pete Abraham of The Boston Globe reports.
LaMarre rejoins a decimated Yankees outfield corps that's now without Tim Locastro (knee) for the remainder of the season. Since being optioned to the minors June 16, the 32-year-old has hit .301 with two home runs and 10 RBI in 19 games.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Activated, outrighted to minors
Rotowire
LaMarre (hamstring) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list and outrighted off the major-league roster Wednesday.
LaMarre completed a minor-league rehab stint during which he went 5-for-10 with a homer, a stolen base and three RBI, but the Yankees no longer had room for him on their active or 40-man roster. In three games with the big club this season, the 32-year-old has gone 0-for-7 with a walk and a strikeout.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Nearing rehab assignment
Rotowire
Manager Aaron Boone said Sunday that LaMarre (hamstring) could begin a rehab assignment as soon as Tuesday, Pete Caldera of The Bergen Record reports.
LaMarre was placed on the 10-day injured list May 20 with a right hamstring strain, but he now appears close to being able to return. He'll begin a rehab assignment in the coming days before the Yankees decide whether to activate him to the major-league roster or option him back to to the minors.

Yankees' Ryan LaMarre: Rerouted to MiLB camp
Rotowire
The Yankees reassigned LaMarre to their minor-league camp Wednesday.
Brett Gardner, Mike Tauchman and Jay Bruce are the clear top candidates to make the Yankees' Opening Day roster as reserve outfielders, so LaMarre's demotion doesn't come as much of a surprise. The 32-year-old has bounced around several organizations over the last six seasons, rarely receiving much more than a cup of coffee at the big-league level at any stop. Over 246 career plate appearances in the majors, LaMarre has provided a .236/.286/.338 slash line.

Rotowire
LaMarre signed a minor-league deal with the Cubs on Friday, Jordan Bastian of MLB.com reports.
LaMarre will join the team's secondary camp site in South Bend. The 31-year-old will likely be little more than organizational depth for the Cubs this season, as he's a 31-year-old with just 246 career big-league plate appearances and a .236/.286/.338 slash line.

Ryan LaMarre: Becomes free agent
Rotowire
LaMarre opted out of his minor-league contract with the Rays on Saturday and was granted his release, Juan Toribio of MLB.com reports.
The 31-year-old was included in Tampa Bay's 60-player pool, but he exercised his opt out after going through most of summer camp with the team. LaMarre had an .857 OPS at the Triple-A level last season but appeared in only 14 games in the majors.
