2026 Projections
Signed a one-year contract with the Astros in March of 2025. Claimed off waivers by the Yankees in January of 2026.
Picked up by Yankees
The Yankees claimed Ort (elbow) off waivers from the Astros on Friday, Ari Alexander of 7 News Boston reports.
Analysis
Ort was terrific for the Astros in 2024 but took a step back in 2025, finishing with a 4.89 ERA and 49:27 K:BB over 46 innings. He also missed the final month of the season with elbow inflammation, although it would seem the Yankees believe that the injury is behind him. Ort will compete for a bullpen job and does not have minor-league options remaining.
