Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Joining big club
The Yankees are calling up Vivas from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Friday, Andy Martino of SNY.tv reports.
The 23-year-old has played well in his second stint at the Triple-A level this year with an .828 OPS in 37 games, and he'll now receive his first look in the majors. Vivas doesn't have a clear path to playing time but could receive some reps at third base given the offensive struggles of DJ LeMahieu and Oswaldo Cabrera.

Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Rehabbing at High-A
The Yankees transferred Vivas' (undisclosed) rehab assignment Tuesday from Single-A Tampa to High-A Hudson Valley.

Yankees' Jorbit Vivas: Lands with Yankees
The Yankees acquired Vivas and Victor Gonzalez from the Dodgers on Monday in exchange for Trey Sweeney, Alden Gonzalez of ESPN.com reports.
Vivas, 22, was on the Dodgers' 40-man roster but has not yet appeared in the majors. This past season, he slashed .269/.381/.407 with 13 home runs and 25 stolen bases between Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Oklahoma City. The left-handed batter can play second and third base and figures to open the 2024 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Dodgers' Jorbit Vivas: Doing it all at Double-A
Vivas is slashing .300/.404/.474 with 10 home runs, 13 steals and a 38:36 K:BB in 79 games for Double-A Tulsa.
The 22-year-old second baseman has been steady all season for the Drillers, and he could soon get a promotion to Triple-A. Vivas, who hits left-handed, has a 21.7 percent hard-hit rate and a 22.5 percent soft-hit rate, and he projects for below-average game power in the big leagues despite this strong showing in the Texas League.

Dodgers' Jorbit Vivas: Thriving in Double-A
Vivas is slashing .391/.473/.766 with four home runs, 10 doubles, a triple, 14 runs, 12 RBI and three stolen bases through 16 games with Double-A Tulsa.
Vivas hasn't generally ranked among the Dodgers' top 10 prospects to this point, but that could change if he continues to hit the way he is now. The 21-year-old has started his first stint at Double-A with a 16-game hitting streak, knocking multiple hits in eight of those contests. Vivas had already flashed a strong hit tool and a sharp eye at the plate coming into 2023, hitting .286 through his first three years in the minors and consistently posting strikeout rates in the low-to-mid-teens. He had topped out at 14 homers across 477 plate appearances in 2021 but is already well above that pace with four long balls this season.

Dodgers' Jorbit Vivas: Sent to minors camp
Vivas was optioned Monday to minor-league camp by the Dodgers.
Vivas needed to be optioned rather than reassigned since he was added to the 40-man roster in November. The 22-year-old infielder spend the 2022 season with High-A Great Lakes while registering a .775 OPS with 10 homers and two stolen bases. He'll likely report to Double-A Tulsa to begin 2023.

Vivas was added to the Dodgers' 40-man roster Friday, Eric Stephen of SBNation.com reports.
Vivas showed last season that he has one of the best hit tools in the lower levels of the minors, hitting .318/.422/.424 with 13 strikeouts and 13 walks as a 20-year-old at High-A. He is in a pretty crowded organization, but Vivas' stock is trending up.
