Tim Mayza is getting his pinstripes.
The longtime Toronto Blue Jays reliever was signed to an MLB contract by the New York Yankees and selected to the active roster on Friday.
Mayza, 32, signed a minor-league deal with the Yankees on July 10 after being designated for assignment and released by the Blue Jays.
The seven-year MLB veteran posted an 8.03 ERA over 24.2 innings for Toronto in 2024, a significant decline from the 1.52 mark he finished with in 2023.
Mayza had made nine appearances with the Yankees’ triple-A affiliate, pitching to a 2.16 ERA with eight strikeouts and three walks over 8.1 innings.
New York enters play Friday tied for the top spot in the AL East with a 72-50 record. It is set to start a series against the Detroit Tigers on the road.
The Yankees bullpen ranks 10th in baseball with a 3.76 ERA. However, that number has jumped to 4.80 over the last month.
