Misiewicz spent part of two seasons with the Yankees (2023-24).
In that span, he went 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA in four games.
Looking At Misiewicz’s Career
Misiewicz was picked in the 18th round of the 2015 MLB Draft out of Michigan State.
He has also spent time with the Seattle Mariners, Kansas City Royals, Arizona Diamondbacks, Minnesota Twins and Detroit Tigers over six MLB seasons.
Over 136 career games, the 31-year-old has gone 8-9 with a 4.86 ERA.
Based on how well he played in Triple-A this season, Misiewicz will be a name to watch over the next few weeks.
He could end up being a good addition to another team for pitching depth.
Yankees Right Now
The Yankees dropped to 54-43 in 97 games, which has them as the second-place team in the American League East.
They have two more games with the Dodgers.
