The Yankees have brought up infielder Jorbit Vivas, giving him another chance to make his long-awaited major league debut. He steps in for outfielder Trent Grisham, who was placed on the paternity list. Vivas has been off to a strong start at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, batting .343 through his first 20 games.
This isn’t Vivas’ first time with the big-league club. He was previously called up in July of last year when J.D. Davis went on the injured list, but he didn’t get into a game before being sent back down just three days later. That means he's still looking to appear in his first MLB game—something he’ll be hoping to achieve this time around. I'm excited for him.
The 24-year-old spent the offseason playing in the Venezuelan Winter League and joined the Yankees in December 2023 as part of a trade with the Dodgers. In that deal, the Yankees acquired Vivas and left-hander Victor Gonzalez in exchange for former first-round pick Trey Sweeney.
Big moment!
