Yankees shift Carlos Lagrange to bullpen at Triple-A
Summary

The New York Yankees announced on June 2 that pitching prospect Carlos Lagrange will transition to the bullpen at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Lagrange, 23, has shown mixed results, with an ERA over 6.00 in the third inning onward, but under 3.00 in the first two innings. This move aims to bolster the Yankees' struggling bullpen, which has blown 10 saves this season. Lagrange is regarded as a top-100 prospect who could quickly be promoted to assist at the major league level if his performance improves in relief.
