Yankees Select Ian Hamilton

By Darragh McDonald | April 3, 2023 at 3:05pm CDT

The Yankees selected right-hander Ian Hamilton to their roster, per a team announcement. Brendan Kuty of The Athletic reported earlier that Hamilton was listed on the club’s roster for tonight’s game. The club opened a spot on the active roster by optioning Jhony Brito after yesterday’s game, which Bryan Hoch of MLB.com had previously relayed. To make room for Hamilton on the 40-man, righty Frankie Montas was transferred to the 60-day IL.

Hamilton, 28 in June, has some scattered MLB experience, making 15 appearances since the start of 2018. One of those appearances was with the Twins last year but he otherwise spent most of the season in Triple-A. Splitting his time between the Triple-A teams of the Twins and Guardians, he posted a 3.61 ERA over 47 1/3 innings, striking out 30.6% of opponents while walking 9.7%.

Hamilton signed a minor league deal with the Yankees this offseason and performed well in spring. He threw nine scoreless innings while striking out six batters and walking three. It was reported last week that he had an opt-out in his deal but agreed to kick it down the road to April 5. It seems the Yanks didn’t want him to get away and have now added him to their roster.

Brito just made his major league debut yesterday, tossing five scoreless innings, striking out six, while allowing just two hits and one walk. As noted by Hoch, the Yanks only need four starters for the next little while since they have an off-day on April 7, which led to Brito getting sent down despite his strong debut. Pitchers that have been optioned cannot return until 15 days later, though they can come back in less time if someone else is placed on the injured list or the club needs a 27th man for a doubleheader.

As for Montas, this move was an inevitable formality. He required shoulder surgery in February and was given an estimated 12-week shutdown period before he could even start throwing. That means he’ll potentially start tossing again in May, but he’ll then need to ramp up to a starter’s workload at that point.

      Whatever happened to the concept of using a fifth starter in long relief if the team has an off day or two coming up?

      Brito is good. What’s wrong with moving hi to the pen for the next ten days to two weeks??

      Yet to be determined. Jhony did make the Giants look brittle yesterday though.

    Cashman has no idea how to handle pitchers. Brito just pitched a great game and you send him back down instead of captailizing on the psychology and chemistry boost.

    Cashman is the turd that won’t flush.

        And that along with an ignoramus of an owner will keep this team as the Dallas Cowboys of MLB.

        But hey, the jokes on us. The nitwit of an owner has convinced the populace to keep buying a failed product. Like sheep being lead to slaughter.

      All teams do this. Based on their scheduling, the Yankees don’t need a fifth starter for a few weeks. The demotion helps Brito stay prepared and stick to his regular throwing schedule.

        No, the Yankees did this 1,387 times last year and the next highest team did it 49 times.

        I don’t care what Cashman thinks the Yankees need. Sports are heavily mental. Humans, and I don’t care who we’re speaking about require psychological consistency. This game is not just physical.

        Case in point was Monty. After being traded he was ticked off. He used that frustration and went on a tear.

        I keep saying this until people wake up and stop buying the crap product. The Yankees leadership is rotten. They have no idea how to scout and develop players. I don’t care how many ex gms are in the front office, because as long as Cashman and Hal call the shots nothing will change.

        When fans who are unable to live without sports wake-up and stop buying and revolt then you will see change. Fans who can’t walk away are like simps who actually ruin the team and the game for everyone else.

          The Yankees treat half the pitchers that they use like commodities. They grossly overpay some, grossly overhype some, while the rest are just fodder. No other team does it as much. I mean Weber last year? Sent down 471 times in one month. They had to borrow the transporter from the Enterprise.

      Baseball is a copycat sport. The A’s and the Red Sox copied Gene Michael’s blueprint. He copied it from someone else.

    Not sure why Hicks is crying. You suck and you suck so much that there aren’t any other teams calling the Yankees for your services. If the Yankees had a taker for your 30 million they would have shipped you off long ago. No other team in all of baseball considers you worth 30 million over 3 years. Only 1 general manager in all of major league baseball believed you were worth 7 years and 70 million dollars and that urine stain is leading this team.
