Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Resumes throwing program
Rotowire
Lagrange (shoulder) has resumed a throwing program, Greg Joyce of the New York Post reports.
Lagrange was shut down for four weeks after being diagnosed earlier this month with a capsular sprain in his right shoulder, but he was cleared to play catch Tuesday. The hard-throwing righty will continue with a slow build-up process before eventually returning to games. Lagrange had been viewed as a likely contributor in the bullpen for the Yankees in the second half before getting hurt. It could still happen, but it's unlikely to occur before September, if at all.
Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Diagnosed with shoulder sprain
Rotowire
Lagrange was diagnosed with a capsular sprain of the right shoulder Friday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Lagrange had been making a push to join the major-league bullpen at some point this season, but he landed on the injured list at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday and is now facing an extended absence following his diagnosis. The Yankees will keep him shut down from throwing for about six weeks, at which point he'll be re-evaluated.
Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Placed on 7-day injured list
Rotowire
Lagrange was placed on the 7-day injured list with a right shoulder injury Thursday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
Lagrange has not pitched with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre since he allowed five runs on four hits and two walks while tossing two-thirds of an inning June 28. His lack of action can now be traced back to a shoulder issue, and he is expected to undergo an MRI in the near future. The right-hander had begun the process of transitioning from being a starter to working out of the bullpen, and he was on track to potentially join the major-league roster in the near future. His major-league debut will now have to be pushed further down the road.
Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Moving to bullpen at Triple-A
Rotowire
Lagrange is being moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Jack Curry of YES Network reports.
It's unclear whether this is a permanent move, but Lagrange's best chance to contribute to the Yankees this season is as a reliever. The hard-throwing righty has posted a 4.41 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 63:25 K:BB over 49 innings in 2026 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Per Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News, manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that it will be "several weeks" before Lagrange is under consideration for the major-league bullpen, as he will have to go through a de-load period before being cleared for more frequent usage.
Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Loses steam in Monday's start
Rotowire
Lagrange tossed 2.2 innings in an exhibition start against the Cubs on Monday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and two walks while striking out four batters.
Lagrange has frequently turned heads this spring, and he won the 2026 James P. Dawson Award given to the most outstanding rookie in Yankees camp, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. However, Monday serves as a reminder that the flamethrowing hurler is still a 22-year-old who has yet to pitch above Double-A. The Cubs smoked four extra-base hits against Lagrange, including two home runs. Even with the ugly line, the right-hander will finish the spring slate with a 4.96 ERA and 1.29 WHIP while posting an impressive 17:6 K:BB over 16.1 innings. He'll open the season in the minors, but Lagrange certainly boosted his prospect status this spring.

Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Dominant again Wednesday
Rotowire
Lagrange tossed four scoreless innings in a Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox on Wednesday, allowing two hits and issuing one walk while striking out four batters.
Lagrange entered in the third inning in a scoreless game and departed after the sixth with the score unchanged. The 22-year-old right-hander has wowed this spring, not only by regularly flashing a triple-digit fastball but also by putting together a sterling 0.66 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB over 13.2 innings spanning four outings (including one start). He's still unlikely to make New York's Opening Day roster, but Lagrange has certainly bolstered his prospect status with his dominant spring, and he could reach the big leagues (perhaps in a relief role) at some point during the campaign if he continues to pitch well in the minors.

Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Sent to minor-league camp
Rotowire
The Yankees reassigned Lagrange to minor-league camp Thursday, Chris Kirschner of The Athletic reports.
"He made it a difficult decision, which coming into this, I wouldn't have even thought there was a decision," manager Aaron Boone said of the move Thursday. Lagrange lit up Grapefruit League play with an easy triple-digits fastball en route to a 0.66 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and 13:4 K:BB across 13.2 innings. Should he continue his dominance in the minors, Lagrange could make his MLB debut with the Yankees at some point during the 2026 campaign after splitting the 2025 season between Single-A and Double-A.
Yankees' Carlos Lagrange: Turning heads in exhibition play
Rotowire
Through two Grapefruit League appearances, Lagrange has given up one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over 5.2 innings.
Lagrange is one of New York's top prospects after posting a 3.10 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 104:50 K:BB across 78.1 frames over 16 games (15 starts) with Double-A Somerset last season. The fireballing right-hander has been flashing eye-popping velocity this spring, hitting 102.4 mph -- tied for the fastest pitch thrown by any pitcher during preseason play -- and averaging over 100 mph on his fastball, per David Adler of MLB.com. Lagrange isn't on the 40-man roster and will almost certainly begin the regular season in the minors, but he could be a roster fixture (either as a starter or reliever) as soon as 2027.
