The New York Yankees have promoted infield prospect Jorbit Vivas from Triple-A, formerly with the Los Angeles Dodgers, ahead of their series against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards.
infield prospect Jorbit Vivas from Triple-A on Friday to join the roster in time for a series against the Baltimore Orioles at Camden Yards, the team announced.The 23-year-old, left-handed hitting Vivas was batting .258 with a .828 OPS across 37 games at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre but his last 19 games have been ridiculous. He has been on a hot streak batting .333 with a 1.113 OPS and five home runs.
He returned from the IL in April playing in two games before landing on the IL with complications from the injury. He returned to the field fully in late May. Vivas is expected to get some playing time while up in the big leagues. He could platoon at second and/or third base with Gleyber Torres and DJ LeMahieu. Both have been struggling at the plate this season.Maren Angus-Coombs was born in Los Angeles and raised in Nashville, Tenn.
