The New York Yankees option reliever Yovanny Cruz back to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, according to reports. Both outlets say the move is made despite Cruz posting solid performances during his time with the major-league club. The decision indicates the Yankees are adjusting their bullpen or roster needs while Cruz continues his development and workload with the organization’s affiliate. The reports do not provide additional context such as specific game usage, injury replacements, or the names of corresponding moves affecting other pitchers. The Yankees’ bullpen management remains the primary driver cited, with the action framed as a return to Triple-A rather than a permanent departure from the organization. Cruz’s next role is expected to be with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre as the Yankees determine how to allocate pitching resources between levels.
