Overview

  • New York obtained utility infielder Max Schuemann from Oakland in exchange for minor-league right-hander Luis Burgos, the team announced.
  • To open a 40-man spot, the Yankees designated outfielder Yanquiel Fernández for assignment.
  • Right-hander Dom Hamel and infielder Braden Shewmake were outrighted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and invited to Major League spring training as non-roster players.
  • Schuemann, 28, has played across the infield and outfield with strong defensive metrics but limited offense, posting a .212/.306/.297 line over 234 MLB games.
  • Schuemann retains multiple minor-league options for roster flexibility, while Burgos, 20, has yet to pitch above the Dominican Summer League after a 2025 season with a 2.44 ERA.
