Yankees Promote Infield Prospect Jorbit Vivas Amid Lineup Struggles

Jorbit Vivas, acquired in an offseason trade, joins the team as J.D. Davis goes on the injured list.

Overview

Vivas, 23, is the Yankees' 15th-ranked prospect, known for his strong left-handed batting.
He was acquired from the Dodgers alongside Victor González in exchange for Trey Sweeney.
Vivas has shown versatility, playing both second and third base in the minors.
He has recently excelled at Triple-A, hitting .333 with a 1.113 OPS over his last 19 games.
The Yankees hope Vivas can provide a boost as Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu continue to struggle.
