The New York Yankees plan to promote reliever Yovanny Cruz following the trade of Camilo Doval to the Pittsburgh Pirates. Doval's departure leaves a gap in the bullpen, which Cruz, 26, aims to fill. He has posted a 3.53 ERA in the minors this season and had a scoreless stint in his earlier big league appearance. The promotion is contingent upon Doval's trade being finalized. The Yankees may seek additional bullpen help before the trade deadline.
