The New York Yankees have signed veteran left-handed pitcher Tyler Matzek to a minor league deal, according to reports from MassLive and the New York Post. Matzek, 34, will provide bullpen depth for the Yankees, who are the reigning American League champions. He was previously an effective reliever for the Atlanta Braves from 2020 to 2022, with a standout season in 2021, where he posted a 2.57 ERA and was vital in the Braves’ World Series victory. Matzek missed the 2023 season due to Tommy John surgery and struggled upon his return in 2024, recording a 9.90 ERA in 11 games while dealing with elbow inflammation. After a brief stint with the San Francisco Giants’ minor league, he re-joined the Braves on a minor league deal for the latter part of 2024
