"Beck, a starter with the Yankees' top affiliate, could be a long relief option behind Blackburn, whose longest outing of the season has been three innings. Weathers will slot back into the rotation next week, manager Aaron Boone told reporters last night."
"The 27-year-old Beck - the younger brother of Giants righty Tristan Beck - was the Yankees' second-round pick out of Stanford back in 2021. He's a soft-tossing righty with plus command whose pro career has been marred by injuries."
"Beck returned from that second elbow procedure in 2025 and delivered a terrific season between Double-A and Triple-A, combining for 131 1/3 innings with a 3.36 ERA, a 23.6% strikeout rate and a 6.9% walk rate."
The Yankees selected the contract of right-hander Brendan Beck from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, bringing him to the majors for a game against the Rangers. Beck, a 27-year-old soft-tossing righty with plus command, was the Yankees' second-round pick in 2021 from Stanford. His career has been hindered by injuries, including two elbow surgeries that caused him to miss the entire 2024 season. Beck returned in 2025 with strong performance across Double-A and Triple-A, posting a 3.36 ERA with a 23.6% strikeout rate. He could serve as a long relief option behind starter Paul Blackburn, as Ryan Weathers was scratched due to illness and will return to the rotation next week after recovering.
