WAPPINGERS FALLS- New York Yankees pitcher J.T. Brubaker is set to make a rehab assignment with the Hudson Valley Renegades on Sunday, May 18. The Renegades will take on the Aberdeen IronBirds at Heritage Financial Park at 2:05 p.m.
Brubaker was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Yankees on March 26 with left rib fractures. He was transferred to the 60-day injured list on April 1.
Burbaker has appeared in 63 major league games with the Pittsburgh Pirates from 2020 to 2022, striking out 9.2 batters per nine innings and posting a 2.97 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He was acquired by the Yankees in a trade with Pittsburgh in March 2024.
The Springfield, Ohio native was originally a 6th round pick by the Pirates in the 2015 first-year player draft out of the University of Akron.
Brubaker would be the first MLB rehab assignment for the Renegades this season, and the sixth in franchise history. He is joined by Tommy Pham (2018), Luis Severino (2021), Ben Rortvedt (2022), Carlos Rodon (2023) and D.J. LeMahieu (2024). Only Rortvedt and Rodon appeared for the Renegades at Heritage Financial Park.
