Yankees Claim Anthony Misiewicz From Tigers

By Darragh McDonald | July 6, 2023 at 2:40pm CDT

The Yankees have claimed left-hander Anthony Misiewicz off waivers from the Tigers, according to announcements from both clubs. The Yankees had an open 40-man roster spot due to Jimmy Cordero’s recent suspension. Misiewicz has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Misiewicz, 28, has been collecting jerseys at a rapid rate over the past year. He spent the early parts of his career with the Mariners and was with them until he was designated for assignment at the end of July last year. Since then, he was acquired by and subsequently DFA’d by the Royals, the Cardinals and the Diamondbacks. The latter club lost him to the Tigers on waivers, who now have lost him to the Yankees on this latest waiver claim. All in all, that’s six different organizations in less than a year.

Amid all those transactions, he’s only been able to toss 8 1/3 innings in the big leagues this year with an 8.64 ERA in that small sample. He’s managed to log 16 1/3 innings in the minors with a 4.41 ERA. Prior to this season, he had 127 major league appearances with a 4.74 ERA, striking out 23% of batters faced while walking 7.1% of them.

For the Yankees, they unexpectedly opened a roster spot this week with the news of Cordero’s suspension and have used it to grab a lefty with some solid results in his track record. He has less than three years of service time and a couple of options seasons, including this one, meaning he can be utilized as an up-and-down reliever for the foreseeable future if he hangs onto his 40-man spot this time around.

    Woof, I know it’s a depth move but surely there are better ways to spend a 40-man spot.

      They thought he was the best at the moment. He can easily be DFAed should a better option be available.

    Doesn’t seem fair that they get a benefit (to add a player), due to Cordero’s suspension

      The Yankees didn’t abuse his spouse.

      I’m not a Yankees fan either, but Cordero’s suspension is due to alleged off-field activities (which we do not condone), not in game or MLB related stuff. Are they supposed to babysit the players when they leave the park? This is not the Yankees fault, so they shouldn’t be penalized beyond what they already are – the loss of the player for the rest of the season (and maybe even beyond that too).

        Literally should be minding all their players on and off the field.

    Tigers should kick Zach Logue to the curb too.

        Logue is still on the 40-man. Getting kicked to the curb would’ve involved a DFA at the least and a outright release at the most. Neither has happened, he got optioned.

    “For the Yankees, they unexpectedly opened a roster spot …”

    Why is it EVER a surprise with this franchise?!?

    Don’t they need a roster spot with Rodon coming off the 60 day?

      They don’t need to free up that spot until tomorrow. Misiewicz will probably be DFA’d immediately after tonight’s game

        That five day rule magically disappeared during the last CBA so they are free to mess up kids’ lives now with the up and down baloney.
