Earlier this month, they selected him to the MLB roster.
The Yankees wrote (via X) on June 6: “Prior to tonight’s game, the Yankees signed C Ali Sánchez (#39) to a Major League contract and selected him to the active roster.”
Right now, he is batting .286 with four hits, two RBIs and two runs in his first seven games with the Yankees.
