Strzelecki did not appear in a game for the Yankees (he had been on a Minor League deal).
He went 0-0 with a 7.71 ERA in six games for their Triple-A affiliate.
Looking At Strzelecki
Strzelecki has spent part of three seasons in the MLB.
As a rookie (2022), he went 2-1 with a 2.83 ERA in 30 games for the Milwaukee Brewers.
In addition to the Brewers, the 31-year-old also had stops with the Arizona Diamondbacks and Cleveland Guardians.
Over 77 career games, Strzelecki has gone 5-6 with a 3.44 ERA.
He could be a good addition to another organization looking for pitching depth.
It will be interesting to see if Strzelecki gets signed before the end of the 2026 season.
Yankees Right Now
The Yankees come into the night as the top team in the American League East with a 45-28 record in 73 games.
They have gone 21-13 in the 34 games they have hosted in the Bronx.
Reds Right Now
The Reds enter the series at the bottom of the National League Central with a 35-38 record in 73 games.
They have gone 16-19 in 35 games away from Cincinnati.
