Yankees call up Cornielle, option Beck after doubleheader loss to Orioles

The New York Yankees have made changes to their roster following a disappointing 10-2 loss to the Baltimore Orioles in Game 1 of a doubleheader on September 26, 2026. Rookie pitcher Brendan Beck was optioned back to the minors after allowing seven runs over five innings. Alexander Cornielle has been called up as his replacement, signaling that outfielder Trent Grisham and designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton will not return from the injured list in time for the upcoming Wild Card Series. To create room for Cornielle, reliever Fernando Cruz has been transferred to the 60-day injured list.
