During the All-Star break, the Yankees announced the news that they had released Chase Chaney from their organization.
MLB.com wrote (on July 13): “Somerset Patriots released RHP Chase Chaney.”
Chaney did not appear in a game for the Yankees.
He had been pitching for their Double-A affiliate.
Right now, the 26-year-old is 3-3 with a 4.55 ERA in 16 games (seven starts).
Looking At Chaney’s Career
Chaney was picked in the 16th round of the 2018 MLB Draft (out of high school).
He had signed with the Yankees’ organization over the offseason.
@NYY_Prospects had written (on December 21, 2025): “Yankees signed RHP Chase Chaney to a minor league contract. A 16th rounder by the Angels in 2018, Chaney had a 3.77 ERA in 119.1 innings across High-A and Double-A in the Twins organization last season. He just turned 26.”

He just turned 26.
Chaney has yet to make his MLB debut.
Due to his age he could be a good option for another team in need of pitching depth.
