Yankees call up reliever Hanner from Triple-A amid playoff push

The New York Yankees have called up right-handed reliever Bradley Hanner from Triple-A on August 12, 2026. Hanner, who has a 2.10 ERA and 61 strikeouts in Triple-A this season, will make his MLB debut as the Yankees aim to improve their bullpen. The Yankees are currently six games behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East with a 66-52 record. With key players Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Cody Bellinger recovering from injuries, the team hopes to gain momentum towards the playoffs with this addition. Hanner's performance could strengthen a bullpen led by closer David Bednar, who has had a strong season.
