CHICAGO — The Yankees have sent Enyel De Los Santos packing just over two weeks after acquiring him at the trade deadline.
The club designated De Los Santos for assignment Wednesday, which came as somewhat of a surprise if only because of how soon it happened after the trade, though he had a rough introduction to the Yankees.
In five games, De Los Santos got tagged for 10 runs in 6 ¹/₃ innings, including seven runs in 1 ²/₃ innings against the White Sox on Monday night.
“Tough call,” manager Aaron Boone said before the series finale at Guaranteed Rate Field. “Feel like he’s better than the last couple results he’s had where he’s had a couple tough outings.”
But the Yankees had to send out a pitcher in order to make room for Will Warren’s spot start (and satisfy the maximum of 13 pitchers on the 26-man roster).
It’s possible Warren could head right back to Triple-A after the start and a reliever like Scott Effross join the Yankees on Friday in Detroit.
The Yankees had just two pitchers on their staff with minor league options remaining — Luis Gil, who has been an important part of the rotation, and Jake Cousins, who has been throwing the ball well and recorded his first career save Tuesday night.
The club discussed potentially optioning Gil, with two off days coming up that would have allowed them to reconfigure their rotation and not need a fifth starter until Aug. 24, but Boone said he didn’t think it was “the right thing to do.”
Acquiring De Los Santos from the Padres (along with a minor league reliever) cost the Yankees Brandon Lockridge, a depth outfielder at Triple-A who is eligible for the Rule 5 draft this offseason if he is not added to a 40-man roster.
Lou Trivino took a step closer to potentially impacting the Yankees this season by beginning a rehab assignment Wednesday with Double-A Somerset.
The veteran reliever has been out all year after undergoing UCL reconstruction surgery in May 2023, then had a setback this May when he experienced elbow inflammation.
He has not pitched in a game since the 2022 ALCS.
The Yankees have a $5 million team option on Trivino for next season, but it’s possible he could become an option for the Yankees bullpen by September.
Clarke Schmidt (lat strain) had another live batting practice session Wednesday in which he threw 32 pitches and simulated two innings.
The plan is for him to throw another Sunday while continuing to build his pitch count before going on a rehab assignment.
Jose Trevino (quad strain) played in his third rehab assignment game Wednesday night with Double-A Somerset, after which the Yankees were expected to reassess his status.
Gerrit Cole will start Friday’s series opener against the Tigers, followed by Carlos Rodon on Saturday and Marcus Stroman on Sunday at the Little League Classic.
