The New York Yankees released outfielder Seth Brown on June 15, just prior to their series against the Chicago White Sox. Brown, acquired before the season on a minor league contract, played in 53 games with the AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders this spring. Despite Giancarlo Stanton being on the injured list and a need for depth, the Yankees opted to part ways with Brown, who had contributed nine home runs and a.235 batting average this season. This decision comes amid several injuries to key players, including Aaron Judge and Austin Wells, leaving the Yankees with limited options in the outfield.
