Yankees Claim Brent Headrick Off Waivers From Twins
The New York Yankees claimed left-hander Brent Headrick off waivers from the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday. Headrick will now head to the American League East and hope to win a roster spot with the Yankees out of spring training. The 27-year-old southpaw made his major-league debut with the Twins in 2023 and had a rough 6.31 ERA, a 1.44 WHIP, his first career save, 30 strikeouts and 10 walks in 25 2/3 innings over 14 relief appearances. In just three innings in his lone appearance in 2024, Headrick allowed a solo home run. Especially since he has minor-league options remaining, Headrick is most likely to open the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. The former ninth-round pick in 2019 out of Illinois State University will provide minor-league relief depth for the Yankees after posting a 3.64 ERA and 1.28 WHIP in five minor-league seasons with the Twins.
