The New York Yankees have signed left-handed pitcher Brandon Leibrandt to a minor league contract. Leibrandt, 31, was drafted by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2014 but made his MLB debut with the Miami Marlins in 2020, posting a 2.00 ERA in five games.

After a stint with the Cincinnati Reds in 2024, where he struggled, Leibrandt's minor league performance showed potential with a 4.41 ERA and 80 strikeouts in 17 starts. The Yankees have a history of reviving struggling pitchers, as seen with Tim Hill's successful turnaround last season.
